Cirrhosis predisposes to abnormalities in energy, hormonal, and immunological homeostasis. Disturbances in these metabolic processes create susceptibility to sarcopenia or pathological muscle wasting. Sarcopenia is prevalent in cirrhosis and its presence portends significant adverse outcomes including the length of hospital stay, infectious complications, and mortality. This highlights the importance of identification of at-risk individuals with early nutritional, therapeutic and physical therapy intervention. This manuscript summarizes literature relevant to sarcopenia in cirrhosis, describes current knowledge, and elucidates possible future directions.
肝硬化易导致能量、激素和免疫内稳态异常。这些代谢过程的紊乱会使人易患肌肉减少症或病理性肌肉萎缩。肌肉减少症在肝硬化患者中很常见,其存在预示着包括住院时间、感染并发症和死亡率在内的重大不良后果。这凸显了识别有风险个体并进行早期营养、治疗和物理治疗干预的重要性。本手稿总结了与肝硬化患者肌肉减少症相关的文献,描述了当前的认识,并阐明了可能的未来方向。
