Molecular Mechanism Contributing to Malnutrition and Sarcopenia in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis

Molecular Mechanism Contributing to Malnutrition and Sarcopenia in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis

Liver cirrhosis is frequently accompanied by disease-related malnutrition (DRM) and sarcopenia, defined as loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. DRM and sarcopenia often coexist in cirrhotic patients and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The clinical manifestation of both c...
