The development of those complications marks the transition from compensated cirrhosis to decompensated cirrhosis, and the latter is associated with poor prognosis. Approximately 50% of cirrhotic patients have gastroesophageal varices. Acute variceal bleeding (AVB) is a medical emergency with high mortality rates ranging from 15 to 25% within 6 weeks. AVB management has evolved in recent years due to new evidence on fluid resuscitation and transfusion support, advances in endoscopic techniques, esophageal stent use, and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement. This consensus aimed to establish recommendations based on the best available evidence and expert opinion from Mexican specialists in gastroenterology for the diagnosis, management, and treatment of AVB in patients with portal hypertension. The goal was to improve clinical decision-making, reduce the associated mortality, and standardize care protocols across the different levels of medical care in Mexico.</div></div><div><h3>Material and methods</h3><div>Seventeen national and 3 international experts were divided into five working groups to address five thematic areas: 1) initial evaluation, 2) fluid resuscitation and initial pharmacologic therapy, 3) the role of endoscopy, 4) strategies for managing failed bleeding control, and 5) secondary prophylaxis recommendations.
