Abstract: Background and Aim: Malnutrition is prevalent among patients with chronic liver disease. We aimed to assess the nutritional status of HCV-related compensated cirrhosis and chronic HCV-infected patients compared to healthy control subjects and to compare the different methods used for nutritional assessment namely the anthropometric measures and the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). Patients and Methods: A total of 120 subjects were recruited. 40 patients with hepatitis C-related compensated liver cirrhosis i… Show more

“…Malnutrition is a quiet problem in children with chronic liver disease (CLD) that has been implicated in short and long-term morbidity and mortality in both pre- and post-transplant periods [1, 2]. The prevalence varied according to the severity of underlying liver disease and the methods employed to assess nutritional status [3]. Patients may present with a wide range of clinical abnormalities including protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), linear growth-retardation, fat soluble vitamin deficiency and hepatic osteodystrophy [4, 5].…”

“…Hepatitis C virus is one of the chief causes of chronic liver disease. Hepatitis C related liver disease encompasses a wide spectrum ranging from chronic hepatitis C to compensated cirrhosis and eventually to decompensated cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma [1]. Cirrhosis is the final common pathway for the majority of liver diseases, and is a complex chronic condition that causes population mortality rates of approximately 5-10 per 100,000 person-years worldwide [2].…”
