Core Tip Malnutrition in cirrhosis is a known risk factor for mortality and the development of complications. We used phase angle derived from bioelectrical impedance that reflects cachexia, the type of malnutrition seen in chronic diseases. We found an association between the presence of low phase angle and higher incidence of hepatic encephalopathy in the 48 mo of follow-up compared to the group with normal phase angle, demonstrating the importance of this complication. We proposed a nutritional marker that can predict the development of hepatic encephalopathy with the advantage of being a non-invasive, inexpensive and bedside method.
