| Popis: | Liver cirrhosis is a global health problem that can be associated with several neurological manifestations. We aimed to assessment of the relation between the severity of the liver cirrhosis and the neurological symptoms, nerve conduction studies (NCS), as well as detecting subclinical neuropathic affection using motor unit number estimation (MUNE) technique. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 56 cirrhotic patients and 61 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Neurological manifestations, Child-Pugh classification, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score, NCS and MUNE using a modified spike-triggered averaging technique were studied. Forty-five (80.3%) of the cirrhotic patients had neurological manifestations. Muscle cramps were the most frequently reported manifestation, followed by fatigue and then numbness. NCS abnormality was significantly related to the presence of neurological symptoms (p |
