Cirrhosis is characterized by two main stages: compensated and decompensated, with significant differences in survival rates. The document highlights the role of nonselective beta-blockers in preventing decompensation and discusses the standard of care for acute variceal hemorrhage, including the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). It also explores emerging treatments for ascites and the management of gastric varices, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach in complex cases.
