Influence of glucose metabolism disorder on complications associated with liver cirrhosis / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Both diabetes mellitus and liver cirrhosis have high incidence rate and mortality rate around the world, and in recent ten years, scholars in China and globally have conducted many studies on the association between diabetes mellitus and liver cirrhosis. This article systematically reviews the advances in the basic and clinical research on the influence of diabetes mellitus on liver cirrhosis and its complications and summarizes possible mechanisms. The results show that diabetes mellitus can accelerate the process of liver fibrosis, increase the risk of complications and progression to liver cancer in patients with liver cirrhosis, and reduce their survival rate.
