Core Tip	This retrospective study of 130 cirrhosis patients compared conventional care (control) vs integrated amino acid-balanced dietary and psychological interventions (observation). At 3 months and 6 months, the observation group exhibited significantly lower anxiety/depression scores, greater grip and lower limb muscle strength, and superior quality of life (Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire scores) vs controls (all P < 0.05). Findings suggest that amino acid-focused nutritional and psychological strategies mitigate muscle wasting and enhance psychosocial and physical outcomes in cirrhosis, warranting clinical adoption.
