Liver cirrosis and complication risk management

Abstract

Liver cirrhosis (LC) takes the main place in the structure of the pathology of the digestive system in terms of the frequency of mortality, as well as in the development of fatal and poorly controlled complications, which requires the search for effective methods for preventing the progression of the disease and the development of complications. The article provides updated information on the role of the intestinal microbiota, as well as endotoxemia and increased intestinal permeability syndromes in the pathophysiology of LC and its complications. The results of recent meta-analyses of the impact of dysbiotic disorders on the prognosis of the LC and the options for their correction are presented. Understanding of the significance of involvement of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of LC has become one of the levers of management of the risks of complications of LC. In this case, the livergut axis can be considered to be the leading link to the formation of most of the main complications of LC.
