Overview
Cirrhosis represents an advanced stage of liver disease characterized by extensive fibrosis and impaired liver function. Given that primary care providers often serve as the initial point of contact for patients with liver conditions, it is essential for them to possess comprehensive knowledge of early recognition, management, and referral criteria for cirrhosis. This presentation aims to equip primary care providers with essential knowledge and practical tools for effectively managing this complex condition. Key topics covered include an in-depth exploration of cirrhosis pathophysiology, common etiologies, and early signs and symptoms to facilitate prompt detection. Diagnostic approaches and the management of complications will also be discussed, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle adjustments, pharmacological interventions, and regular surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Additionally, the presentation will outline referral guidelines for specialized care, including indications for liver transplantation. By the conclusion of this session, participants will possess a comprehensive understanding of cirrhosis, enabling them to identify high-risk patients, initiate timely interventions, and collaborate effectively with hepatology specialists to optimize patient outcomes.

Objectives

Identify the common etiologies and pathophysiology of cirrhosis to facilitate early recognition and diagnosis in the primary care setting.
Describe the clinical presentation and hallmark signs and symptoms of cirrhosis, along with appropriate diagnostic tests, to improve early detection and patient outcomes.
Implement evidence-based management strategies, including lifestyle modifications, pharmacologic treatments, and surveillance for complications, while understanding referral guidelines for specialist care and liver transplantation.
