Risk of falls in patients with cirrhosis evaluated by timed up and go test: Does muscle or brain matter more?

Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is considered a risk factor for falls in patients with liver cirrhosis. However, MHE is prevalent in patients with muscle alterations (sarcopenia and myosteatosis) probably due to the role of muscle in ammonia handling. To assess the respective role of muscle alt...

description Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is considered a risk factor for falls in patients with liver cirrhosis. However, MHE is prevalent in patients with muscle alterations (sarcopenia and myosteatosis) probably due to the role of muscle in ammonia handling. To assess the respective role of muscle alterations and MHE on the risk of falls in cirrhotic patients. Fifty cirrhotics were studied for MHE detection by using Psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy Score (PHES) and Animal Naming Test (ANT). CT scan was used to quantify the skeletal muscle index (SMI) and muscle attenuation, as a measure of myosteatosis. The risk of falls was evaluated by the Timed Up&Go test (TUG). The occurrence of falls during follow up was also detected. 32 patients (64%) had an abnormal TUG (< 14 s). In the group with TUG ≥ 14 s, MHE (72vs31%, p
