Abstract
The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of liver cirrhosis on cardiac and renal functions in elderly patients, after exclusion of cardiac and renal diseases, or any other disease that can affect both systems.
This study is a cross sectional study. The study included 100 male and female patients aged 60 years and above. Subjects have been recruited via purposive sampling from the inpatient Geriatrics and Gerontology department, Internal Medicine department, and the outpatient clinic of Geriatrics and Gerontology department in Ain Shams University hospitals.
We excluded those with history of cardiovascular diseases (e.g. hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and heart failure), severe anemia, chronic kidney disease, and patients with diagnosis of hepatorenal syndrome.
