Abstract:
Sarcopenia is one of the most common complications of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) and is an independent risk factor for mortality in ESLD patients. Increasing evidence has indicated that nutritional intervention plays an important role in improving the prognosis of ESLD complicated with sarcopenia. Timely identification and early treatment of sarcopenia in ESLD are indispensable for improving patient outcome and quality of life. Accumulating in-depth researches on the pathogenesis and metabolic characteristics of sarcopenia in ESLD patients have provided increasing evidence for the nutritional treatment of sarcopenia in ESLD. Here we reviewed and summarized the research progress regarding the early identification, nutritional risk screening, assessment, and intervention of sarcopenia in ESLD.
