ABSTRACT
Complications of cirrhosis are a main cause of death in the immediate and late follow-up periods in these patients. Portal hypertension, edematous-ascitic syndrome, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatorenal syndrome, and hepatic encephalopathy are poor predictors. The sociomedical importance of these complications is obvious for reasons of the high risk of death in these patients in the immediate period (15-30 days). This review represents a set of practical algorithms whose basis is the most effective methods to diagnose, treat, and prevent complications of cirrhosis.

The article presents a clinical case of a 33-year-old Armenian man, who suffered from two rare diseases: Familial Mediterranean fever and celiac. The diagnosis of Familial Mediterranean fever: abdominal-feverish form, is confirmed by genetic markers. The morphological study of duodenal mucosa's specimens confirms the celiac.
