In today’s world, where the global population is
aging, liver cirrhosis is among the diseases that increase with aging. The
prognosis of liver cirrhosis in the elderly is worse than in younger patients
due to delays in the diagnosis of cirrhosis compared to younger patients and
the higher incidence of aging-related comorbidities in the elderly. Diagnosis
of liver cirrhosis usually begins with suspicion of cirrhosis. Most of the
time, the diagnosis can be made by combined evaluation of anamnesis, physical
examination, laboratory data and radiological findings. When necessary, liver
biopsy is also used. Management of compensated liver cirrhosis includes
surveillance. In decompensated liver cirrhosis, treatment for complications and
liver transplantation in suitable patients are required.
