Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University

Sarcopenia is a common complication in liver cirrhosis patients and has been confirmed that associated with poor prognosis. China has the world's largest burden of hepatitis B virus-related liver cirrhosis (HBV-related liver cirrhosis). However, the relationship between HBV-related liver cirrhosis patients with muscle mass loss and normal muscle mass is remain largely unknown. Our study aimed to reveal the metabolic profile and identify potential biomarkers of muscle mass loss in HBV-related liver cirrhosis.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 56 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis were recruited between August 2021 and June 2022 at the Affiliated hospital of Qingdao University. All of the patients are in the decompensation stage of hepatitis B cirrhosis and divided them into two groups. One group is named cirrhosis with muscle mass loss, the other group is named liver cirrhosis with normal muscle mass. People in healthy control group were excluded metabolic diseases. Each group of patients is about 20.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. the diagnostic criteria for decompensation of liver cirrhosis of chronic viral hepatitis B formulated according to the Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Liver Cirrhosis issued by the Chinese Society of Hepatology in 2019
  2. The diagnosis of muscle mass loss conforms to SMI less than 46.96 cm²/m² for males and less than 32.46 cm²/m² for females
  3. Patients aged between 18 and 60 years old
  4. Patients with no history of drinking or abstinence for more than 1 year
  5. Voluntary participants with informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

1) the etiology of cirrhosis without hepatitis B virus (HBV), such as cirrhosis, alcoholic cirrhosis, autoimmune cirrhosis, and so on; 2) the age of patients over 60 years old; 3) patients with acute, chronic and acute liver failure; 4) other diseases which can lead to the secondary muscle depletion, such as chronic disease in heart, lung, kidney, brain, and malignant tumor; 5) neurodegenerative diseases or muscle degenerative diseases; 6) perioperative patients; 7) patients without CT scan within 3 months; 8) patients who have exercise habits with the Physical Activity Rating Scale-3 (PARS-3) > 19 points

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

liver cirrhosis patients with muscle mass loss
The diagnosis of cirrhosis was made based on the combination of clinical and laboratory features or by liver histopathology. Skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), which was the ratio of lean tissue area to body height. Muscle mass loss was defined as an SMI less than 46.96 cm²/m² for males and less than 32.46 cm²/m² for females
Diagnostic test: CT at the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3)
Muscle mass loss was defined as an skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) less than 46.96 cm²/m² for males and less than 32.46 cm²/m² for females
liver cirrhosis patients with normal muscle mass
Skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) was not decreased in this group.
Diagnostic test: CT at the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3)
Muscle mass loss was defined as an skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) less than 46.96 cm²/m² for males and less than 32.46 cm²/m² for females
healthy group
People in healthy control group were excluded metabolic diseases (including diabetes, thyroid disorder, and so on) and other chronic diseases, according to their ultrasound and laboratory assessment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
amino acids metabolism
Time Frame: 2021.09.01-2022.08.01
Arginine biosynthesis, Phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis were the enrichment pathway in two groups.
2021.09.01-2022.08.01
central carbon metabolism
Time Frame: 2021.09.01-2022.08.01
D-fructose-6-phosphate,L-glutamic acid, and Fumaric acid were selected as differential metabolites in pathway of central carbon metabolism.

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
August 17, 2021

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
