To Explore the Changes of Fecal Microbiota Before and After Treatment in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis Complicated With Hepatic Encephalopathy or Sarcopenia as a Reference for Future Fecal Microbiota Transplantation
Through this plan, it will provide many benefits to patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with sarcopenia and/or hepatic encephalopathy, their family members, and the government in Taiwan: 1. To explore the changes of fecal microbiota before and after treatment such as resistance training rehabilitation in patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with sarcopenia and/or hepatic encephalopathy as a reference for future fecal microbiota transplantation; 2. To measure the changes of sarcopenia level before and after rehabilitation; 3. To measure the changes of hepatic encephalopathy level before and after rehabilitation. These study results will certainly bring updated diagnostic tool, latest treatment options, avoid serious sequelae and reduce medical expenditure.
