ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Liver Cirrhosis, the primary cause of liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma, affects millions of adults and children worldwide. Cirrhosis affects approximately 2.2 million adults in the World and is associated with mortality rates of 21.9 per 100 000 people. Cirrhosis is defined as the fibrotic replacement of liver tissue that can result from any chronic liver disease.
Methods:
It is descriptive cross sectional study done on 68 Cameroonians patients (53 men and 15 women) among 100 patients living with Liver Cirrhosis at the NGaoundere Protestant Hospital in Adamawa Region Cameroon from June 2023 to June 2024 after receiving Ethical Clearance and Research Authorization from The Health Work of the Evan gelical Lutheran Church of Cameroon (HWELCC) Chairman. Convenience sampling was done. The analysis included management of risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, treatment and complications of liver cirrhosis.
Results:
Out to 100 Cirrhot ic patients, the prevalence of Cameroonians were 68% (77,94% of men and 22,05% of women) including 88,67% with HCC developed for men and 80,00% with HCC developed for women.
Conclusions:
This study showed that the prevalence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma to the Cameroonians cirrhotic patients were too high due to lack of the appropriate methods for the management of Cirrhotic Patients
