title: [Liver cirrhosis in Israel (author's transl)].
abstract: The incidence of death caused by cirrhosis of the liver has increased in Israel during the last 20 years as it has in other parts of the world; still the incidence is much lower than in most countries. Increasing alcoholism and higher rates of hepatitis probably play a role, however in many cases the cause of cirrhosis remains in the dark.
