HGS is a measure of the maximum voluntary muscle strength and owing to its easy access, operability, and repeatability, is proposed as a sensitive indicator of muscle function in patient with cirrhosis. In this review, researchers explore how simple measurements of HGS, which are non-invasive and convenient for daily clinical practice, can provide early warnings for patients with or at risk of cirrhosis.
