ABSTRACT
Introduction. Adiponectin and resistin levels are increased in patients with cirrhosis, but it prognostic significance is unknown. We
sought to investigate the factors associated with adiponectin and resistin levels and its clinical significance in patients with cirrhosis.
Materials and methods. This was a prospective cohort study that included 122 subjects with cirrhosis who attended an outpatient
clinic and were initially evaluated in 2012. Serum adiponectin and resistin levels were measured in samples collected in 2012
(adiponectin and resistin) and 2014 (adiponectin). Thirty healthy subjects served as a control group.
Results. Higher adiponectin
(21.59 µg/mL
vs. 12.52 µg/mL, P ‹ 0.001) and resistin levels (3.83 ng/mL
vs. 2.66 ng/mL, P ‹ 0.001) were observed among patients
with cirrhosis compared to controls. Patients classified as Child-Pugh B/C had higher adiponectin levels in relation to Child-
Pugh A patients. At second measurement, adiponectin levels increased significantly in non-transplant patients and decreased in liver
transplant recipients. Univariate Cox analysis showed that among patients with alcoholic liver disease, adiponectin levels were associated
with lower transplant-free survival (HR = 1.034, 95% CI 1.006 - 1.062, P = 0.016). The transplant-free survival was significantly
lower among patients with alcoholic liver disease and adiponectin amor prohibido capitulo 97 17 µg/mL (26.55 months, 95% CI 21.40-31.70) as compared
to those with levels ‹ 17 µg/mL (33.76 months, 95% CI 30.70-36.82) (P = 0.045). No relationship was found between the levels of
resistin and survival.
Conclusion. Adiponectin but not resistin levels were associated with intensity of liver dysfunction and worse
prognosis in patients with alcoholic liver disease, suggesting a potential as a prognostic biomarker.
