Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Worldwide, chronic liver disease has become a major health concern, and it is responsible for an escalating number of deaths most often related to liver cirrhosis. Two-thirds of all liver-related deaths occur in men, and deaths are largely attributable to the complications of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The most common causes are related to alcohol and viral hepatitis, while the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as a cause of cirrhosis has proliferated tremendously within recent decades and is now the most frequent grounds for liver transplantation in the US. The majority of patients with cirrhosis die from complications such as bleeding from esophageal varices, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, cardiopulmonary complications, and infections. In this Special Issue of Diagnostics, leading authors will review contemporary diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic aspects of complications of cirrhosis.
Prof. Dr. Søren Møller
