No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A few PhA cut-off points have been proposed to define malnutrition in cirrhosis, and they have proven to be useful in prognosticating severity of the disease and mortality. However, PhA needs specific validation in different ethnic groups. The aim of this study was to evaluate the PhA cut-off value that would best define malnutrition and predict mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis.
