Why do Patients with liver disease have BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acid) deficiency?

  • Because the liver is responsible for the synthesis of BCAA , and because patients with liver illness consume protein and store half of it in the liver and half in the muscles, reduced functioning occurs, resulting in an inability to use nutrients as effectively as before.
    • For the patients with liver disease, liver is unable to synthesize and store BCAA as well as before while the body need to utilise BCAA more. In order to get BCAA, this leads to an increase in muscle depletion. Patients with liver illness have less muscle mass and less BCAA stored in their muscles. As a result, the patients are deficient in BCAA.

What are the disadvantages of BCAA insufficiency in liver disease patients?

  • It causes a drop in blood protein levels as well as a reduction in the body’s immunity system.
    • It causes a rise in protein depletion in muscles and other organs, resulting in reduced muscles in the arms and legs, atrophy, and increased fatigue.
    • It increases AAA (Aromatic Amino Acids) in the body, which enter the brain more than BCAA, which causes an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain, which causes dementia from a liver illness known as Hepatic Encephalopathy.
