Do cirrhosis patients have increased risk of complications after hip or knee arthroplasty?
Cirrhosis patients had a higher risk of postoperative complications after THA or TKA for primary osteoarthritis than patients without cirrhosis. This may have implications for orthopedic surgeons' postoperative management of cirrhosis patients, and preoperative assessment by a hepatologist may be indicated.
Obesity is the principle mechanism of chronic inflammation and IR in PCOS patients. C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 should be used to predict and follow the risk of CVD development in PCOS cases. Hepcidin may be used as an additional marker in the follow-up of PCOS patients in the future.
