Core Tip We evaluated the features and outcomes of cryptogenic cirrhosis (CC) compared to age- and Child-Pugh class-matched hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis at baseline and over a 42-mo follow-up. At diagnosis, the median age of CC was 66 years and Child-Pugh classes A/B/C were 47%/31%/22%, respectively. Among CC cases higher prevalences of metabolic syndrome, overweight/obesity, high BMI, impaired glucose metabolism, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, cardiovascular diseases, extrahepatic cancer, and gallstones were observed. Although in the two groups we detected a similar incidence of liver decompensation, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and death, an earlier development of HCC was observed in CC. Age and Child-Pugh were predictors of death. Most CC cases are the consequence of undiagnosed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
