[Clinical management of a patient with alcoholic cirrhosis].

Prolonged abstinence from alcohol is crucial in the management and prognosis of a patient with alcoholic cirrhosis. It is also important to prevent complications such as variceal bleeding, hepatocellular and extrahepatic cancers, and malnutrition. Liver transplantation should be considered in patients with persistent liver failure in spite of complete cessation of alcohol consumption. We provide some recommendations in commonly encountered clinical situations for compensated and decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis.
