Overview

Primary prevention of cirrhosis includes avoidance of causative agents such as alcohol, high doses of certain supplements (vitamin A, copper and iron) and vaccination against hepatitis. Adequate caloric intake, physical activity, prevention of high risk behaviors, screening of blood products and vaccination for Hepatitis B play an important role in primary prevention.
