Abstract:
Sarcopenia is a common complication in patients with liver cirrhosis, which has an adverse effect on the clinical outcome and prognosis. Attention must be paid to early detection and active diagnosis and treatment. Clinically, the diagnosis process of finding suspicious cases can be traced through screening-assessment-diagnosis-severity evaluation. On the ground of treating liver cirrhosis and its complications, reasonable nutritional intervention and exercise are currently important measures for the treatment of liver cirrhosis with sarcopenia, and the role of hormone supplementation and drug therapy for skeletal muscle metabolism needs to be further investigated.
