- Abstract: Introduction: Liver cirrhosis is a very common pathology in our environment. Epidemiological data in Ecuador are limited, which makes it difficult to promote adequate prevention and treatment measures; in addition, there is limited access to specific therapies, such as liver transplantation. Objective: we sought to determine the sociodemographic characteristics, etiology and complications of cirrhotic patients, treated in the gastroenterology service of the Eugenio Espejo Hospital, during 2018. Material and Methods: descriptive cross-sectional study, carried out in 94 patients, Results: we found that the main cause of cirrhosis is nonalcoholic hepatic steatosis (29 %); overcoming alcohol and viral etiologies. The most frequent age group is between 36 and 64 years old (57 %). The most frequent stage was Child B (46%) and clinical stage 4 (38 %). The most frequent complication was ascites (72 %). Conclusions: Non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis has displaced the other causes of cirrhosis; therefore, it is essential to carry out programs for the management of the metabolic syndrome, as well as easy access to care by a specialist in gastroenterology or hepatology.

Objetivo: Determinar las características sociodemográficas, etiología y complicaciones de los pacientes cirróticos, atendidos en el servicio de Gastroenterología del Hospital Eugenio Espejo, durante el año 2018 Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo - transversal, realizado en 94 pacientes adultos con diagnóstico de cirrosis durante el año 2018. Resultados: La principal causa de cirrosis es la esteatosis hepática no alcohólica (29 %); superando al alcohol y a las etiologías virales. El grupo etario más frecuente es el comprendido entre los 36 a 64 años (57 %). El estadio más frecuente fue Child B (46 %) y el estadio clínico 4 (38 %). La complicación más frecuente fue la ascitis (72 %).Conclusiones: La esteatosis hepática no alcohólica ha desplazado a las demás causas de cirrosis; por lo tanto, es primordial realizar programas para el manejo del síndrome metabólico, así como un fácil acceso a la atención por un especialista en Gastroenterología o Hepatología.
