Patients with liver cirrhosis frequently exhibit dyslipidemia due to impaired hepatic lipid synthesis, altered bile acid metabolism, and portal hypertension. Laparoscopic Splenectomy and Azygoportal Disconnection (LSD) is commonly used to treat Cirrhosis with Portal Hypertension Bleeding in these patients, but its impact on lipid profiles over 2 years remains poorly characterized. This study will follow patients undergoing LSD to measure changes in serum lipid parameters before and after surgery, identify risk factors for lipid profile deterioration or improvement, and determine whether LSD can ameliorate dyslipidemia in the long term, thereby informing metabolic management strategies in cirrhotic patients.
