Core Tip	In this controlled prospective long term study we demonstrated that subclinical forms of abnormal glucose tolerance (IGT) or diabetes mellitus (DM) may influence survival of non-diabetic cirrhotic patients. Previously it had been demonstrated that clinically overt DM is associated with low survival of cirrhotic patients. This issue is important since a high proportion of cirrhotic patients (about 70%) without history of DM and with normal fasting plasma glucose have subclinical abnormal glucose tolerance. The use of oral glucose tolerance test for early recognition and treatment of DM may improve prognosis of these patients.
