Presentation
Patients often present with fat malabsorption leading to failure to thrive, fat soluble vitamin deficiency with bleeding, rickets, and neuropathy. In 25% of cases, cirrhosis occurs during childhood or later in life. [orpha.net]

Workup
Blood workup should include a complete blood count to rule out anemia or thrombocytopenia (secondary to hypersplenism in the presence of liver cirrhosis), a coagulation status, and liver function tests in liver cirrhosis patients. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
Treatment
These groups provide patient-centred information and are the driving force behind research for better treatments and possible cures. [news-medical.net]
Several studies show higher HRQoL scores (in many domains) after treatment, though other factors than treatment may have influenced this outcome [38, 39, 42]. [hqlo.biomedcentral.com]
