A Unique Visual and Literary Art Form: Recent Research on Picturebooks

Abstract

There is an increased prevalence of chronic muscle cramps in subjects with cirrhosis that appears to be independent of the etiology of cirrhosis, diuretic consumption, serum electrolyte alterations, or differences in Child's classification. These results suggest that cramps in these patients are related specifically to the development of cirrhosis, and worsening liver function may be a risk factor for the development of cramps.
