Activity Description

Cirrhosis is characterized by fibrosis and nodule formation of the liver secondary to chronic injury, leading to alteration of the normal lobular organization of the liver. Various insults can injure the liver, including viral infections, toxins, hereditary conditions, or autoimmune processes. With each injury, the liver initially forms scar tissue (fibrosis) without losing its function. After a chronic injury, most of the liver tissue becomes fibrotic, leading to loss of function and the development of cirrhosis. This activity reviews the causes, evaluation, and management of hepatic cirrhosis and highlights the interprofessional team's role in managing patients with this condition.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the pathophysiology of cirrhosis.

  • Assess the etiology of cirrhosis.

  • Evaluate the presentation of a patient with cirrhosis.

  • Communicate the importance of improving care coordination amongst interprofessional team members to improve outcomes for cirrhotic patients.
