[Medical therapy of complications in liver cirrhosis]
Abstract
Patients with liver cirrhosis bear a considerable risk of a variety of complications that involve virtually all organ systems. They can be addressed with a wide spectrum of drugs for acute interventions as well as for prophylactic purposes. At the same time treatment of the underlying disease, the identification and treatment of triggering factors and the possibility of liver transplantation should be kept in mind.
