Abstract:
Sarcopenia is common in patients with cirrhosis and significantly impacts their quality of life and survival.Its pathogenesis involves multiple factors,including inadequate nutrient intake,abnormal hormone levels,high ammonia levels,abnormal levels of inflammatory factors,imbalanced gut bacteria,and physical inactivity.This study aims to review the epidemiological characteristics,pathogenesis,screening,diagnosis,and treatment of cirrhosis to assist doctors and patients in better preventing,monitoring,and addressing sarcopenia.
