    Abstract
  • Malnutrition and asthenia are interrelated and multidimensional problems in patients with liver cirrhosis. Malnutrition is one of the reasons leading to asthenia, whereas asthenia is a comprehensive manifestation of functional disorders, and malnutrition and asthenia interact with each other and further affect the clinical outcome of patients with liver cirrhosis. Therefore, early identification, accurate assessment, and active treatment of malnutrition and asthenia should be taken seriously to reduce clinical complications, prolong survival time, and improve quality of life. In addition to the therapies targeting the etiology and complications of liver cirrhosis, nutritional management and physical exercise are the main measures for the treatment of malnutrition and asthenia, and further studies are needed to explore the clinical efficacy of medical treatment such as testosterone replacement therapy.
