Research Abstract

Aim: This study composed to clarify the relationship between the pathogenesis of chronic liver diseases and skeletal muscle steatosis determined by computed tomography. Conclusion: This study found that 1) there was an association between histological stage in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and skeletal muscle steatosis, 2) there was an progression in skeletal muscle steatosis, and administration of branched chain amino acid granule improved skeletal muscle steatosis in decompensated liver cirrhosis.
