Sarcopenia (severe muscle depletion) is a prevalent muscle abnormality in patients with
cirrhosis that confers poor prognosis both pre-and post-liver transplantation. The …

Background Recent advances in evaluation of body composition show body mass index to
be inadequate in differentiating between body compartments in cirrhosis. Given the …

Background Overweight/obese patients' large fat mass can mask the loss of skeletal muscle,
which is associated with mortality in the oncology setting. We investigated the prevalence of …

METHODS: All adult patients who underwent TIPSS insertion for refractory ascites between
2010 and 2018 were included. Skeletal muscle index at L3 was used to determine …

Standardized sex-specific cut-offs for sarcopenia in cirrhosis are needed to identify the risk
of clinical complications and to discriminate the severity of sarcopenia. We aimed to …

Background & aims Malnutrition and sarcopenia are associated with increased morbidity
and mortality in cirrhosis but conflicting data are reported after liver transplantation (LT), with …

Aim Reliable and valid predictors of malnutrition in patients with cirrhosis remain scarce,
especially easily accessible blood indicators. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the …

Background This study aimed to evaluate the nutrition status through phase angle (PA) and
its association with mortality in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Methods A …

Malnutrition and sarcopenia are common complications of liver cirrhosis. This study
compares the performance of different nutritional assessment techniques in detecting …

Sarcopenia, characterized by a loss of muscle strength, quantity/quality, and physical
performance is associated with increased mortality and poor clinical outcomes in …
