ABSTRACT

Protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM) is a prognostic factor increasing complications and mortality in chronic liver diseases. Objectives: To quantify the dietary intake and compare different methods of nutritional assessment in patients with chronic liver diseases. Ninety seven outpatients of Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, with chronic hepatits (CH) and cirrhosis (CIR), were assessed from April 2009 to January 2010. The CH patients presented higher calorie and protein intake (p<0.05) than the CIR patients. Malnutrition prevalence in CH and CIR groups by the Royal Free Hospital-Global Assessment (RFH) was 51.2 vs 84%, Hand Grip Strength 61 vs 82.1%, Subjective Global Assessment 14.6 vs 32.1%, Adductor Pollices Muscle 7.3 vs 14.3%, Arm Muscle Circumference 4.9 vs 14.3% and Body Mass Index2.4 vs 3.6% (p<0.05), respectively. HGS and RFH were the best methods to identify malnutrition and present concordance with each other.


La malnutrición se asocia con un peor pronóstico y mortalidad en pacientes con enfermedades crónicas del hígado. Objetivos: Cuantificar la ingesta alimentaria, y comparar diferentes métodos de evaluación nutricional en pacientes con hepatitis y cirrosis. Fueran estudiados 97 pacientes del ambulatorio del Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre con hepatitis crónica (HC) y cirrosis (CIR), desde abril 2009 hasta enero 2010. Los pacientes con HC presentaron mayor consumo de calorías y proteínas por kilogramo de peso corporal (p<0,05) que los pacientes del grupo CIR. La prevalencia de desnutrición en los grupos HC y CIR fué: Royal Free Hospital-global assessment (RFH) 51,2 vs 84%, hand grip streght (HGS) 61 vs 82,1%, evaluación subjetiva global 14,6 vs 32,1%, músculo aductor del pulgar 7,3 vs 14,3%, circunferencia muscular del brazo 4,9 vs 14,3% y el indice de masa corporal 2,4 vs 3,6% (p<0,05). HFH y HGS fueron los métodos que mejor evidenciaron la malnutrición habiendo concordancia entre ellos.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: Cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and protein calorie malnutrition are important issues in cirrhotic patients because they can increase the progression of liver disease and worsen its prognosis. OBJECTIVE:To determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in cirrhotic patients being evaluated for liver transplantation and their impacts on a 3-month follow-up, and to compare fasting glycemia and oral glucose tolerance test. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed in consecutively included adult patients. Diabetes mellitus was established through fasting glycemia and oral glucose tolerance test in diagnosing diabetes mellitus in this population. HOMA-IR and HOMA-β indexes were calculated, and nutritional assessment was performed by subjective global assessment, anthropometry and handgrip strength through dynamometry. RESULTS: Diabetes mellitus was found in 40 patients (64.5 percent), 9 (22.5 percent) of them by fasting glycemia and 31 (77.5 percent) of them by oral glucose tolerance test. Insulin resistance was found in 40 (69 percent) of the patients. There was no relationship between diabetes mellitus and the etiology of cirrhosis. Protein calorie malnutrition was diagnosed in a range from 3.22 percent to 45.2 percent by anthropometry, 58.1 percent by subjective global assessment and 88.7 percent by handgrip strength. Diabetes mellitus identified by oral glucose tolerance test was related significantly to a higher prevalence of infectious complications and deaths in a 3-month period (P = 0.017). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and protein calorie malnutrition is high in cirrhotic patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation. There were more infectious complications and/or deaths in a 3-month follow-up period in patients with diabetes mellitus diagnosed ...


CONTEXTO: Cirrose, diabetes mellitus, intolerância à glicose e resistência insulínica é uma associação que vem sendo discutida, bem como a desnutrição nesta população, pelo risco de pior evolução de hepatopatia. OBJETIVO: Determinar a prevalência de diabetes mellitus, intolerância à glicose e resistência insulínica e desnutrição protéico-calórica em cirróticos (vírus C+ ou -) candidatos a transplante hepático e avaliar a capacidade diagnóstica dos testes de diabetes mellitus e seu impacto na evolução em 3 meses. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal prospectivo de pacientes consecutivos, com avaliação de diabetes mellitus por glicemia de jejum e/ou teste de tolerância oral à glicose, cálculo dos índices HOMA-IR e avaliação nutricional através da avaliação subjetiva global, antropometria e força do aperto de mão não-dominante. RESULTADOS: Sessenta e quatro virgula cinco por cento tinham diabetes mellitus, 9 (22,5 por cento) deles foram diagnosticados por glicemia de jejum e 31 (77,5 por cento) por tolerância oral à glicose. A resistência insulínica foi encontrada em 40 pacientes (69 por cento). Não houve relação com a causa da cirrose. A desnutrição protéico-calórica foi encontrada em 3,22 por cento dos pacientes através do índice de massa corporal, 45,2 por cento por antropometria, 58,1 por cento pela avaliação subjetiva global e 88,7 por cento pela força do aperto de mão não-dominante. Houve associação entre diabetes mellitus diagnosticado pelo teste de tolerância oral à glicose e a maior prevalência de complicações infecciosas e/ou morte em 3 meses (P = 0,017). CONCLUSÃO: A prevalência de diabetes mellitus, intolerância à glicose, resistência insulínica e desnutrição protéico-calórica é alta em cirróticos em lista de transplante hepático. A evolução em 3 meses é pior quando há diabetes mellitus. O teste de tolerância oral à glicose teve rendimento superior à glicemia de jejum no diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus. Sugere-se o emprego rotineiro ...
