Pradyumna Kumar Behera*, Priyambada Rout and Debasish Pradhan
ABSTRACT
Cirrhosis is chronic injury to the liver from a variety of different sources
can result in irreversible scarring of the liver. In developed countries, it
is an increasing cause of morbidity and mortality & globally 14th most
common cause of death. Among the major cause of chronic liver
disease, chronic hepatitis C virus infection is foremost which leads to
necroinflammation and fibrosis. Methods like predicting prognosis in
patients with Liver Cirrhosis[1] have been developed for assessing liver
fibrosis and have been used which are noninvasive. Liver Cirrhosis
often have Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) and poor physical
activity resulting in sarcopenia, which is the loss of skeletal muscle
volume and increased muscle weakness. From this review the current understanding of cirrhosis as a dynamic process and outline
current therapeutic option for prevention and treatment of cirrhosis complication. By
conducting rigourous clinical studies there is need for prevention of liver transplantation in
more patients with cirrhosis in future.
