Role of Skeletal Muscle Parameters in Imaging Analysis in the Prediction of Outcome in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis
Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (3) locations...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
The principal aim of this study is to analyse L3-SMI (skeletal muscle index) in a cohort of patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt), and compare the prognostic power with TPMT (transverse psoas muscle thickness). Furthermore, the role of myosteatosis, determined in CT by L3-SMI, MRI and ultrasound will be studied.
