A frequent complication in liver cirrhosis is malnutrition, which is associated with the
progression of liver failure, and with a higher rate of complications including infections …

Sarcopenia or loss of skeletal muscle mass is the major component of malnutrition and is a
frequent complication in cirrhosis that adversely affects clinical outcomes. These include …

The term sarcopenia refers to the loss of muscle mass that occurs with ageing. On the basis
of study results showing that muscle mass is only moderately related to functional outcomes …

As detected by cross‐sectional imaging, severe muscle depletion, which is termed
sarcopenia, holds promise for prognostication in patients with cirrhosis. Our aims were to …

Physical inactivity, sarcopenia, and frailty are highly prevalent, independent predictors of
morbidity and mortality in patients with cirrhosis. Across a range of chronic diseases …

Ammonia is diffused and transported across all plasma membranes. This entails that
hyperammonemia leads to an increase in ammonia in all organs and tissues. It is known that …

Background Skeletal muscle depletion or sarcopenia has been identified as a poor
prognostic factor for various diseases. The aim of this study is to determine whether muscle …

Background & Aims Patients with cirrhosis have reduced exercise tolerance, measured
objectively as decreased peak exercise oxygen uptake (peak VO 2). Reduced peak VO 2 is …

For patients with end‐stage liver disease, commonly used indices of nutritional status (ie,
body weight and body mass index) are often inflated because of fluid overload (ie, ascites …

Background Physical exercise could improve functional limitations, muscle mass, and health-
related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with cirrhosis. Aim The purpose of this study was to …
