The most common cause of cirrhosis in the United States is chronic and heavy alcohol use, while the most common cause of cirrhosis worldwide is the [[hepatitis]] virus. Cirrhosis and [[chronic liver disease]] is the 12th leading cause of death in United States.
The most common cause of cirrhosis in the United States is chronic and heavy [[alcohol]] use, while the most common cause of cirrhosis worldwide and in Asian countries is the [[hepatitis]] virus. The gender that is most commonly affected by cirrhosis varies, depending upon the [[etiology]]. The [[incidence]] of cirrhosis increases with age; the median age of diagnosis of cirrhosis due to [[alcoholic liver disease]] is 52 years. The median age of diagnosis of cryptogenic/[[Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease|NAFLD]]/[[Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease|NASH]] cirrhosis is 60 years.

*Currently, approximately seventy percent of cirrhotic individuals are unaware of having [[liver]] disease and go undiagnosed.
* Established cirrhosis has a 10-year mortality of 34-66%, largely dependent on the cause of the cirrhosis; alcoholic cirrhosis has a worse prognosis than primary biliary cirrhosis and cirrhosis due to hepatitis. The risk of death due to all causes is increased twelvefold; if one excludes the direct consequences of the liver disease, there is still a fivefold increased risk of death in all disease categories.<ref>Sorensen HT, Thulstrup AM, Mellemkjar L, Jepsen P, Christensen E, Olsen JH, Vilstrup H.

Overview

The most common cause of cirrhosis in the United States is chronic and heavy alcohol use, while the most common cause of cirrhosis worldwide and in Asian countries is the hepatitis virus. The gender that is most commonly affected by cirrhosis varies, depending upon the etiology. The incidence of cirrhosis increases with age; the median age of diagnosis of cirrhosis due to alcoholic liver disease is 52 years. The median age of diagnosis of cryptogenic/NAFLD/NASH cirrhosis is 60 years.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

  • In 2015, the prevalence of cirrhosis was approximately 270 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[1]
  • Currently, approximately seventy percent of cirrhotic individuals are unaware of having liver disease and go undiagnosed.
  • The prevalence of cirrhosis is higher in:
    • Non-Hispanic blacks
    • Individuals below the poverty line
    • Mexican Americans
    • Areas with high illiteracy rates
  • Chronic and heavy alcohol use is responsible for more than half of the cases of cirrhosis in the United States.[1]
  • The cost of cirrhosis in terms of human suffering, hospital costs, and lost productivity is high.
  • The rate of developing hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients is approximately 1%-4% per year.[2]

Alcoholic cirrhosis:

  • Alcoholic cirrhosis develops in 15% of individuals who drink heavily for more than a decade.
  • There is great variability in the amount of alcohol needed to cause cirrhosis (as little as 3-4 drinks a day in some men and 2-3 in some women).[3]

Chronic hepatitis B:

  • Chronic hepatitis B is the most common cause of cirrhosis worldwide, especially South-East Asia, but is less common in the United States.

Primary biliary cirrhosis:

  • In some areas of the US and UK, the prevalence is as high as 1 in 4000.

Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): [4][5][6]

  • NAFLD has a 30 percent risk of fibrosis
  • NAFLD has a 2-15% rate of cirrhosis in less than 6 years

Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency:

  • Approximately 40 percent of adults with homozygosity of PIZZ have histologically significant liver injury and cirrhosis.[7]

Hepatopulmonary syndrome:

Portopulmonary hypertension:

Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy:

  • The prevalence of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is 50% in cirrhotic patients.

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

  • The 10 year-mortality rate of cirrhosis is approximately 34- 66 percent, largely dependent on the cause of cirrhosis.

In 2001, cirrhosis was the tenth leading cause of death among men and the twelfth leading cause of death among women in the United States.[8]

  • In 2006, cirrhosis was the twelfth leading cause of all deaths in United States.[9]

Age

  • Cirrhosis is infrequently seen in young adults.
  • The incidence of cirrhosis increases with age; the median age at diagnosis of cirrhosis due to alcoholic liver disease is 52 years.[10]
  • The median age of diagnosis of cryptogenic/NAFLD/NASH cirrhosis is 60 years.
  • The median age of diagnosis of autoimmune cirrhosis is 43 years.

Race

Gender

  • The gender that is most commonly affected by cirrhosis varies, depending on the underlying etiology.

Primary biliary cirrhosis:

Chronic Hepatitis C:

  • The risk of cirrhosis after 20 years is estimated to be approximately 10%-15% for men and 1-5% for women.[2]

Non alcoholic fatty liver disease:

  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is more common among men than women in all age groups until age 60.
  • At 60 years of age, the prevalence of cirrhosis in males and females equalizes, due to absence of the protective nature of estrogen.[11]

Autoimmune hepatitis:

  • Autoimmune hepatitis usually occurs in women in seventy percent of cases between the ages of 15 and 40.

Alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency:

  • Male gender and obesity may be risk factors for progression to advanced liver disease in adulthood among patients with severe AAT deficiency.[12]

Developed Countries

  • Chronic and heavy alcohol use is responsible for more than half of the cases of cirrhosis in the United States.

Developing Countries

  • Chronic hepatitis B is the most common cause of cirrhosis worldwide, especially South-East Asia, but is less common in the United States.
