Proposal for choosing the best approaches during nutritional assessment of cirrhotic patients with hepatic encephalopathy. 1APMT and CAMA are also associated with nutritional status in many conditions, but were not well evaluated in patients with cirrhosis and HE. AC: Arm circumference; APMT: Adductor pollicis muscle thickness; BCM: Body cell mass; BIA: Bioelectrical impedance analysis; CAMA: Corrected arm muscle area; CT: Computed tomography scan; DEXA: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; HE: Hepatic encephalopathy; MAMC: Mid-arm muscle circumference; PA: Phase angle; TSF: Triceps skinfold.
