“…A significant negative correlation was confirmed between ghrelin level and BMI. This result was reported by previous studies [ 16 , 17 , 25 ]. This denotes that serum ghrelin level depends on the nutritional status and can be used as a marker to help with anorexia and enhance dietary supplements for patients with liver cirrhosis.…”

“…This denotes that serum ghrelin level depends on the nutritional status and can be used as a marker to help with anorexia and enhance dietary supplements for patients with liver cirrhosis. Malnutrition and hypermetabolism are common in cirrhotic patients and are well-known risk factors for poor prognosis [ 17 ]. Ghrelin, as an early indicator of malnutrition, can also be used as a predictive factor for survival and prognosis.…”

“…On the other hand, El-shehaby AM et al (26), found that acylated ghrelin levels had negative correlations with serum albumin and prothrombin concentration and positive correlations with total and direct bilirubin. Moreover, Elbadri A et al demonstrated that in patients with liver cirrhosis plasma ghrelin levels showed a significant positive correlation with HB, WBCS and platelets, and a significant negative correlation with serum albumin, total bilirubin, AST and ALT (27).…”
