Detection of Sarcopenia in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis Using the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis

Detection of Sarcopenia in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis Using the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a body composition assessment method. We aimed to determine its accuracy in the detection of sarcopenia in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), using skeletal muscle index (SMI) at the level of third lumbar vertebra (L3-SMI) obtained using multislice computed...
