Association of Hormonal Status With Sarcopenia, Frailty and Outcome in Patients With Decompensated Cirrhosis
Our study is the first to evaluate HPA-HPG and GH/IGF-1 dysregulation in the same cohort of patients with decompensated cirrhosis. DHEAS was the only hormone correlated with frailty parameters and physical function, whereas low Δ4 androstenedione was associated with adverse outcomes in men.
