Abstract

Liver cirrhosis is one of the diseases with the highest prevalence and mortality in the world population; whose most important etiologies are of alcoholic type, hepatitis B and C viruses, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; The epidemiological and clinical characterization is fundamental to know the current casuistry of the problem. We present a retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study, with the objective of characterizing epidemiologically and clinically patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in a regional center of the Colombian Caribbean, who receive attention in the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Unit of the General Clinic of the North, during the period from January 2012 to March 2017. It is concluded that the etiology due to hepatitis C virus is the most prevalent in the local environment, followed in frequency by non-alcoholic fatty
liver, autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, alcohol, viral hepatitis B and other etiologies
