Journal ArticleDOI
Bioelectrical impedance analysis is a useful bedside technique to assess malnutrition in cirrhotic patients with and without ascites.

TL;DR: For assessment of protein malnutrition in patients with cirrhosis, body cell mass determination by use of BIA offers a considerable advantage over other widely available but less accurate methods like anthropometry or the creatinine approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weight gain after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt is associated with improvement in body composition in malnourished patients with cirrhosis and hypermetabolism.
Mathias Plauth,Tatjana Schütz,Deborah P Buckendahl,Georg Kreymann,Matthias Pirlich,Sven Grüngreiff,Paul Romaniuk,Siegfried Ertl,Marie-Luise Weiss,Herbert Lochs +9 more
TL;DR: An increase of prognostically relevant variables body cell and muscle mass contributes to the weight gain after TIPS in malnourished patients with cirrhosis and hypermetabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of Body Cell Mass in Cushing’s Syndrome: Effect of Treatment
Matthias Pirlich,Henrik Biering,Helga Gerl,Manfred Ventz,Bernd Schmidt,Siegfried Ertl,Herbert Lochs +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that, in patients with CS, a significantly reduced BCM indicates a true protein loss, and that in the early recovery after successful treatment of hypercortisolism patients lose body fat without gaining BCM or muscle mass.
