Clinical observation of nutritional status and immune function in patients with decompensated cirrhosis
Objective To explore the nutritional status and immune function of hospitalized patients with decompensated cirrhosis.Methods A total of 132 patients with decompensated cirrhosis who were hospi-talized in this hospital from January 2020 to June 2022 were selected.According to Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) score,the patients were divided into the high-nutritional-risk group,the low-nutritional-risk group,and the non-nutritional-risk group.Comparative analysis was conducted on nutritional status indica-tors,cellular immune indicators,Child-Pugh classification of liver function,and complications among the three groups.Results BMI,TSF,AMC,Hb,ALB,PA,RBP and TG in the high-nutritional-risk group and low-nu-tritional-risk group were lower than those in the non-nutritional-risk group.BMI,TSF,and AMC in the low-nutritional-risk group were lower than those in the non-nutritional-risk group.ALB and TG in the high-nutri-tional-risk group were lower than those in the low-nutritional-risk group,with statistically significant differ-ences (P<0.05).The immune indexes IgG and IgA in the high-nutritional-risk group and the low-nutritional-risk group were higher than those in the non-nutritional-risk group,with statistically significant differences (P<0.05).The percentage of CD4+T cells and the ratio of CD4+T cells to CD8+T cells (CD4+T/CD8+T) in the high-nutritional-risk group and the low-nutritional-risk group were lower than those in the non-nutrition-al-risk group,with statistically significant differences (P<0.05).The NRS2002 score was negatively correla-ted with BMI,TSF,AMC,Hb,ALB,PA,RBP,TC,TG,CD4+T,CD4+T/CD8+T (P<0.05).It was positive-ly correlated with IgG,IgA,IgM (P<0.001).Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that there was a linear regression relationship between Hb,TSF,AMC,ALB,RBP,and NRS2002 score.Conclusion The nu-tritional status and immune function of patients with high nutritional risk decompensated cirrhosis are poor.It is necessary to carry out nutritional intervention in patients with high nutritional risk decompensated cirrhosis in time.
