Abstract:
Liver cirrhosis is the end-stage of chronic liver disease and can affect the function of multiple organs. Gastrointestinal tract damage resulting from cirrhosis is more common in clinic, which may cause gastroparesis, affect the digestion and absorption of nutrients, and destroy the intestinal mucosal barrier function. In addition, it may be accompanied by a series of gastrointestinal complications that affect the patient’s prognosis. Clinically, more attention should be paid to early monitoring, early diagnosis and early treatment of cirrhosis-related gastrointestinal complications so to control the progression of liver cirrhosis condition, reduce advanced stage complications, and improve patient’s quality of life.
