摘要

Liver cirrhosis is primarily associated with alcohol abuse, chronic hepatitis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Key risk factors include diabetes, advanced age, male gender, and metabolic syndrome. Opportunistic screening and early identification of these risk factors are essential for timely recognition and intervention. The severity of liver cirrhosis can be stratified using validated clinical scoring systems such as the MELD score or Child-Pugh classification. This enables categorization of disease stage, guiding treatment decisions and determining the need for liver transplantation referral. Effective management of liver cirrhosis requires a multidisciplinary approach focused on maintaining a stable compensated state and implementing targeted interventions to enhance quality of life.
