Popis: Background: Cirrhosis of the liver is final stage of chronic liver disease [1], which can lead to complications associated with portal hypertension and liver failure. In a much remunerated state, the cirrhotic patient maintains close association to traditional solution and acid–base standing, however this delicate balance may be discontinuous by malady progression, infection, dietary indiscretion/deprivation, or medicine intervention. Many mineral metabolism disorders are represented in relation with hepatic diseases. This study aims to estimate the levels of Sodium, Potassium and Calcium in Cirrhosis of Liver and correlate them with severity of cirrhosis and in-hospital morbidity and mortality. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study is planned to be carried out in Medicine department, AVBRH, Wardha. Total 50 patients with liver diseases will be enrolled. The lab. investigations will include different parameters of liver function tests along with assessment of sodium, potassium and calcium level. Child-Pugh, end-stage liver disease scores model will be determined using required formulas. All such patients’ in-hospital death records will be collected. Data will be collected and analyzed. The mean and standard deviations of the measurements per cluster will be used for applied analysis (SPSS twenty-two.00 for windows; SPSS INC, Chicago, USA). For every assessment purpose, data will be statistically analyzed using factorial ANOVA. Distinction between 2 groups determined using student t-test similarly as chi sq. test (p
