Patients with cirrhosis were prospectively recruited at the time of admission into the waiting list. Clinical and lab values were collected. Physical frailty was assessed by liver frailty index (LFI) and patients were categorized into robust (<3.2); pre-frail (between 3.2 and 4.5), and frail ...
demonstrated an increased prevalence for identifying liver steatosis and fibrosis using FibroScan, thereby showing increased negative predictive values (AURCO 0.87) [10]. Another study by Siddiqui et al. showed that the diagnostic accuracy of VCTE in detecting adults with MASLD accurately distinguishes ...
Liver cirrhosis remains major health problem. Despite the progress in diagnosis of asymptomatic early-stage cirrhosis, prognostic biomarkers are needed to identify cirrhotic patients at high risk developing advanced stage disease. Liver cirrhosis is the result of deregulated wound healing and is featured ...
Some research has been done with patients who have early stages of liver disease but not people with cirrhosis. We found that patients with NAFLD-related cirrhosis tended to have poorer health than patients without cirrhosis. But there was not very much information from patients themselves and ...

liver failure, or death. This clinical heterogeneity poses a considerable challenge as it likely accounts for the diverse responses to treatment and outcomes observed in these patients [7]. Therefore, we reasoned that analysing a large population of patients with acutely decompensated cirrhosis should ...
In patients with cirrhosis, the diagnosis of cirrhosis was confirmed by liver biopsy or by noninvasive tests: thrombocytopenia (<140.109/L), international normalized ratio (INR) >1.2, dysmorphic liver, hepatic elasticity >19.5 kPa, splenomegaly >13 cm at ultrasonography, and stage II or III ...
It is likely that pH changes contribute to the regulation of the red cell 2,3-DPG concentration in cirrhotic patients. In a group of these patients (n=48), the arterial pH and pCO2 did not differ significantly from normal values. Other, as yet unknown, factors must presumably contribute ...
