Serum Zinc Level and non-Protein Respiratory Quotient in Patients with Chronic Liver Diseases

Serum Zinc Level and non-Protein Respiratory Quotient in Patients with Chronic Liver Diseases

We sought to clarify the correlation between non-protein respiratory quotient (npRQ) in indirect calorimetry and serum zinc (Zn) level in chronic liver diseases (CLDs, <i>n</i> = 586, 309 liver cirrhosis (LC) patients, median age = 63 years). Clinical parameters potentially linked to npR...
