Abstract
La cirrosis es una enfermedad caracterizada por el desarrollo de cambios histopatológicos y morfológicos que conducen a la aparición de hipertensión portal e insuficiencia hepatocelular así como a las complicaciones características de la enfermedad. Cada vez existe más información del papel central que ejerce la inflamación sistémica como mecanismo fisiopatológico implicado en su desarrollo y progresión. Las escalas pronósticas más comúnmente utilizadas como el MELD (Model for End-Stage Liver disease) se basan fundamentalmente en la estimación de la función hepática. Dada la importancia de la inflamación sistémica ha habido un interés creciente en la búsqueda de biomarcadores subrogados de la misma con capacidad pronóstica. La proteína C reactiva (PCR) ha sido uno de ellos, sugiriéndose que podría desempeñar un papel pronóstico en diferentes escenarios clínicos del espectro de la enfermedad.
Cirrhosis is characterized by the development of histopathological and morphological changes that lead to the appearance of portal hypertension, liver failure, and the characteristic complications of the disease. There is increasing evidence focused on the role of systemic inflammation as a main pathophysiological mechanism involved in the development and progression of the disease. The most commonly used prognostic scores, such as MELD (Model for End-Stage Liver disease), are aimed at estimating the liver function. As a result of the relevance of systemic inflammation, there has been a growing interest in the search for surrogate prognostic biomarkers associated with this event, being the C-reactive protein (CRP) one of the most deeply explored. It has been suggested that CRP could play a prognostic role in different clinical scenarios across the disease spectrum...
