Correcting Vitamin D Deficiency in Decompensated Cirrhosis: A Pathway to Reducing Frailty and Enhancing Muscle Strength

Аннотация

Vitamin D deficiency is common among patients with cirrhosis, and it has been linked to various complications, including frailty, muscle weakness, and poor clinical outcomes. This article explores the impact of correcting vitamin D deficiency in decompensated cirrhotic patients, with a focus on frailty improvement. Data from clinical studies suggest that vitamin D supplementation can lead to improvements in frailty scores, muscle strength, and overall functional capacity. This review highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of vitamin D deficiency in cirrhotic patients and the potential role of vitamin D as a therapeutic adjunct in managing frailty and improving quality of life.
