Condition: Liver Cirrhosis · Refractory Ascites in Patients With Cirrhosis · Sarcopenia in Liver Cirrhosis · Sponsor: The Mediterranean Institute for Transplantation and Advanced Specialized Therapies
The hypothesis is that in patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites candidate to TIPS, and sarcopenia (identified by a PMA ≤16 cm² at the level of L3), who are at high-risk of 6-month mortality after TIPS placement, a post-TIPS 12 weeks nutritional intervention is associated with improved post-TIPS prognosis. The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of a post-TIPS 12 weeks nutritional intervention on liver transplant-free six-month survival in sarcopenic candidates to TIPS for refractory ascites in cirrhosis.
