Judgment of the decompensated stage of cirrhosis can be based on the patient’s symptoms, which are significantly worse than those of the previous stage. The patient has basically no appetite and is thin, weak or even bedridden, accompanied by dark complexion, bleeding gums, skin petechiae, etc. Complications such as ascites and jaundice begin to appear, and abdominal distension is unbearable. Serious complications such as upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, hepatic encephalopathy and hepatorenal syndrome may occur at any time during the decompensated stage of cirrhosis, posing a great threat to the patient’s life, so the prevention of possible complications is the priority at this stage.
