**3.2 Diagnosis**

The diagnostic workup of a patient with suspected cirrhosis is similar to that of a patient presenting with ALF. Physical examination may reveal stigmata of chronic liver disease, including ascites and splenomegaly. Abdominal imaging with CT or MRI provides radiographic confirmation of chronic portal hypertension. Non-hepatic causes of portal hypertension, such as cardiac cirrhosis from longstanding heart failure, should also be excluded.
