title: [Cirrhosis of the liver].
abstract: Cirrhosis of the liver is a frequent and dangerous disease that causes numerous clinical contacts due to its complications. Competent and fast clinical decisions are often necessary in the acute setting and a broad clinical approach for the long-term problems due to the co-morbidity. Danish research in the pathophysiology and treatment of cirrhosis is of high international standard and forms a qualified basis for rational clinical handling of the patients with cirrhosis.
