Article Synopsis
- Hepatic cirrhosis is increasingly common worldwide, but its development mechanisms are not fully understood; this study aimed to link thyroid hormone levels (T3, fT4, and TSH) with survival in chronic liver disease patients.
- The study involved 419 patients with liver cirrhosis, using the MELD score and ELISA procedures to analyze thyroid hormone levels and confirm diagnoses through clinical symptoms and tests.
- Results showed a positive correlation between MELD scores and TSH levels; patients who did not survive had higher TSH levels, while T3 and fT4 changes were not significant, suggesting TSH could be an important marker for monitoring liver cirrhosis progression.
