Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between myostatin levels, sarcopenia, and the development of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in cirrhosis patients, finding a progressive decrease in myostatin as cirrhosis worsens.
- Out of 186 patients, 27.9% experienced acute decompensation and 25.8% developed ACLF, with infections being a common trigger.
- Myostatin levels were found to be predictive of ACLF and patient survival, highlighting its potential role in monitoring and managing cirrhosis progression.
