Clinical, etiological, and demographic aspects of cirrhosis in South America: a report from the South American Liver Research Network

In this contemporary South American cohort, MASLD has emerged as the leading cause of cirrhosis, and autoimmune disease affected nearly one-fifth of individuals with cirrhosis. The high burden of complications, with nearly two-thirds of patients developing at least one, and the low rate of pre-transplant evaluation suggest a significant unmet need for timely diagnosis and advanced care in the region.

Abstract

In this contemporary South American cohort, MASLD has emerged as the leading cause of cirrhosis, and autoimmune disease affected nearly one-fifth of individuals with cirrhosis. The high burden of complications, with nearly two-thirds of patients developing at least one, and the low rate of pre-transplant evaluation suggest a significant unmet need for timely diagnosis and advanced care in the region.
