ABSTRACT

Introduction: liver cirrhosis is characterized by an asymptomatic or compensated stage, followed by a fast progression for the development of complications or decompensated stage, determining different evolutionary stages.
Objective: characterizing cirrhotic patients attended at the Gastroenterology Service of the Teaching Military Hospital Dr. Mario Muñoz Monroy, in the period from January 2009 to December 2010.
Methods: We carried out a crossed descriptive study, taking into account clinical variables necessary to classify the patients according to the stages contemplated at Baveno IV Consensus. The procedures of the descriptive statistics were applied.
Results: 41 patients were studied, with a predomination of the male ones (82,9 %), average age 51,9 ± 9,2 years. Asthenia was the main reason of the consultation in the compensated stage. Most of the patients presented the compensated disease taking into account the clinical stage of the disease according to Baveno VI Methodological Consensus on Diagnostic and Treatment of the Portal Hypertension (56,1 %).
Conclusions: with the application of the Baveno IV consensus criteria we arrived to the adequate clinical classification of the cirrhotic patients allowing an opportune therapeutic on behalf of them.
