- Abstract: Liver cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease in which the liver parenchyma is replaced by fibrotic tissue and regenerated nodules.Its main complications include portal hypertension,hepatic encephalopathy,spontaneous bacterial peritonitis,and hepatocellular carcinoma.Despite great progress in treatment and management,its complications still impose a substantial burden on both individuals and society.In recent years,the biological role of vitamin D and its relationship with the complications of liver cirrhosis have received extensive attention.Vitamin D is not only an important fat-soluble vitamin,but also has anti-fibrotic,anti-inflammatory,and anti-tumor effects.This article aims to summarize the role and potential clinical application value of vitamin D in the main complications of liver cirrhosis,and to explore a new auxiliary treatment to prevent and delay the development of complications.
