Core Tip
Core Tip: Numerous publications in recent years have shown the efficacy of etiological therapy in achieving recompensation of decompensated liver cirrhosis (LC). The criteria for the recompensation of alcohol-related, as well as hepatitis B virus-related and hepatitis C virus-related decompensated LC were developed at the Baveno VII consensus workshop. This review provides up-to-date information on the role of etiological therapy in achieving recompensation of decompensated LC according to these criteria.
