Over the past 20 years, large, international prospective studies have indicated the importance of systemic inflammation and organ immunopathology as additional determinants of organ dysfunction in cirrhosis, which not only manifests in the liver, brain, circulation and the kidneys, but also the immune system, gut, muscles, adrenal glands, reproductive organs, heart and lungs. This review provides an overview of the traditional and emerging concepts around the initiation and maintenance of organ dysfunction in cirrhosis and proposes a new paradigm based upon a better understanding of acute decompensation of cirrhosis. The interaction between the traditional concepts and the emerging perspectives remains a matter of great interest and the basis for future research. date: 2021-07-01 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhep.2021.01.018 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1868982 doi: 10.1016/j.jhep.2021.01.018 pii: S0168-8278(21)00029-5 lyricists_name: Jalan, Rajiv lyricists_id: RJALA78 actors_name: Stacey, Thomas actors_id: TSSTA20 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Hepatology volume: 75 number: Supp 1 pagerange: S14-S26 event_location: Netherlands citation: Jalan, R; D'Amico, G; Trebicka, J; Moreau, R; Angeli, P; Arroyo, V; (2021) New clinical and pathophysiological perspectives defining the trajectory of cirrhosis.
