According to a 2016 government public hospital report in Indonesia, The prevalence of liver cirrhosis is estimated at 3.5% of total internal medicine patients, or an average of around 47.4% of all patients treated for cirrhosis. This research using the literature review method aims to describe the characteristics of liver cirrhosis sufferers (gender, etiology of liver cirrhosis, age, child-turcotte-pugh) in Indonesia.

The inclusion criteria for this research are literature that has been published in the last 10 years, can be accessed in its entirety, literature set in Indonesia, and meets the search keywords. The exclusion criteria in this study were literature with the type of study in the form of a review.
Results: A literature search conducted on Google Scholar and Pubmed found eight pieces of literature that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eight pieces of literature are descriptive observational studies. The total samples obtained from the eight pieces of literature were 1010 samples. The time span of the literature obtained was 2015-2023. Before data extraction, each piece of literature was assessed for risk of bias using JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute) critical appraisal.
