Objective: To determine the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with liver cirrhosis. Results: There were 19 patients (33.3%) in the age group between 60 and 69 years; 31 (54.4%) women and 26 (45.6%) men. Hepatitis C virus was found in 21 patients (36.8%). 96.4% of the patients were diagnosed by abdominal ultrasound; 12 (21.1%) presented ascites and 38 (66.6%) endoscopic manifestations of portal hypertension. In D'Amico stage 4 there were 20 (35 %) patients and 26 (45.6%) in Child-Pugh A stage; 24 (42.1%) in Child-Pugh B and 7 (12.3%) in Child-Pugh C. Conclusions: Liver cirrhosis predominates in the seventh decade of life, in females. Abdominal ultrasound prevails as a diagnostic mode. The most common causes are hepatitis C virus and alcoholism. Ascites is the most common complication. Most patients present with signs of portal hypertension. Uncompensated forms of the disease predominate.Ludmila Martínez LeyvaAmada Belquis Palomino BesadaEvelyn Quesada MenesesJuan Carlos Oliva ReyAlicia Yanes CicardYesael Descalzo GarcíaECIMEDarticlecirrosis hepáticahepatitis bhepatitis chepatitis autoinmunecirrosis biliar primariacolangitis esclerosante primaria.MedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ESRevista Cubana de Medicina Militar, Vol 50, Iss 4, Pp e02101479-e02101479 (2021)
