Skeletal Muscle Parameters of Liver Cirrhosis in Non-invasive Imaging and Outcome

NCT03584204 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 400

Last updated 2021-10-05

No results posted yet for this study

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.
