Become an expert in cirrhosis to diagnose it in time, a vital matter for the patient, and master the approach to its complications to prevent it from becoming irreversible” 

Cirrhosis is caused by the deficient functioning of the liver, being a late stage of its healing. It is a disease often caused by prolonged liver disease resulting from Hepatitis B or C infection, alcoholism or accumulation of fat in the liver not caused by excessive alcohol consumption (called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD] and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis [NASH]). In turn, it is closely related to being overweight, high blood pressure, diabetes or prediabetes,and high cholesterol.

On the other hand, there are other less common causes of cirrhosis such as when immune cells mistake normal liver cells for harmful invaders and attack them, bile duct disorders, some medication or liver diseases passed down from generation to generation.

 As cirrhosis progresses, more and more scar tissue forms, causing the liver to function with difficulty (decompensated cirrhosis). Advanced cirrhosis is potentially fatal. Liver damage caused by cirrhosis usually cannot be reversed, which is why early diagnosis is so important, as it can limit the progression of the damage.

All of this has led hepatology to become a specific field of medicine, which sometimes exceeds the objectives of digestive system specialists' training period and implies the need for training and, as a result, the existence of trained professionals.  Therefore, it is essential that the medical specialist can respond adequately to the evolution of these events focused on cirrhosis, through an adequate update of their knowledge and the incorporation of these advances in their daily medical practice, which is why TECH has developed this comprehensive program in response to a demanded specialty.

In addition, it is a 100% online program that provides the student with the ease of being able to study it comfortably, wherever and whenever he/she wants. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality in line with the current times with all the guarantees to position the medical professional in a highly demanded field.
