Irisin in Liver Cirrhosis.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Sarcopenia is a prevalent muscle abnormality characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, common among patients with decompensated advanced chronic liver disease (dACLD). Irisin is a recently identified myokine, which is mainly expressed and secreted by skeletal muscle. Pointing to the essential role of irisin in metabolic regulation and energy expenditure we hypothesize that it plays an important role in cirrhosis development and progression. AIM:To assess irisin serum levels in patients with dACLD, with different cirrhosis stage and etiology. To analyze relationship between sarcopenia and irisin serum levels. METHODS:Serum irisin concentrations were measured with commercially available ELISA kits in 88 cirrhotic patients. Recorded parameters of muscle mass were hand-grip strength (HGS), mid-arm muscle circumference (MAC), and transversal psoas muscle index (TPMI). RESULTS:There was no difference in serum irisin levels between cirrhotic patients with different Child-Pugh (CTP) and model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, and those with and without ascites. The Liver Frailty Index (LFI) was significantly higher in patients with more advanced liver disease according to CTP and MELD. There was no association between serum irisin level with MAC (r = 0.04, p = 0.74) nor with TPMI (r = 0.20, p = 0.06). We observed significant negative correlation between serum irisin level and age (r = -0.35, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS:Serum irisin levels did not correlate with sarcopenia. There was no difference in serum irisin levels between cirrhotic patients with and without diabetes. There was no difference in serum irisin levels among patients with more severe dACLD, although we observed significant LFI increase among patients with more advanced liver disease.
