Abstract

Background: There are many different published articles about CIRRHOSIS from all over the world, however, only limited articles related to Iran and the Middle East region exist on this subject. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective study, 406 patients who had suffered from CIRRHOSIS and who were referred to affiliated hospitals of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences were investigated during 1991-2001. The patients’ medical history, clinical and laboratory findings were reviewed and an attempt was made to find the ETIOLOGY of the disease and to assess the complications that accompanied it. Results: Out of 406 patients, 272 were males and 134 were females with a male to female ratio of 2. The mean age of the patients was 51 years with a range from 14 to 93 years. The most predominant signs were ascitis (49%), jaundice (42%) fever (34%) and hepatic encephalopathy (32%). The most common etiological factor was hepatitis B. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed in 55% of the patients and revealed esophageal varices, grades I-IV, and varicosal bleeding in 16.4%. Conclusion: Cirrhotic patients in our area seek medical care at a late and advanced stage of the disease. Additionally, VIRAL HEPATITIS, mostly due to hepatitis B is the most common etiological factor for CIRRHOSIS in our region.
