Scarring (cirrhosis) from advanced liver diseases can block normal hepatic circulation of blood through the liver, causing increased pressure in the venous portal system (portal hypertension). This can result in pressurised veins (varices), usually in the gastro-oesophageal region,...

The majority of infected people develop viral persistence that may lead to increasing liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular cancer. Interferon therapy has been the mainstay of treatment for hepatitis C since the discovery of the virus in 1989. The introduction of a pegylated form of ...
Because of a lack of evidence, the guideline provides no recommendations on visco-elastic testing for bleeding risk in advance of common gastrointestinal procedures for patients with stable cirrhosis. It recommends against use of extensive preprocedural testing, such as repeated PT/INR or PLT count ...
