We recently reported that patients with cirrhosis exhibit an abnormal pattern in their skin temperature variability, with complexity analysis of skin temperature fluctuations distinguishing inpatients from outpatients, despite similar mean temperature values [1]. Patients with cirrhosis also exhibit abnormalities in circadian rhythmicity, part of which are of central origin [2]. Therefore, we wondered if abnormalities in skin temperature fluctuations may reflect abnormalities in core body temperature (CBT) regulation in these patients. To test this hypothesis, we analysed CBT data that we had previously recorded in control rats and rats with cirrhosis [3]. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
We recently reported that patients with cirrhosis exhibit an abnormal pattern in their skin temperature variability, with complexity analysis of skin temperature fluctuations distinguishing inpatients from outpatients, despite similar mean temperature values [1]. Patients with cirrhosis also exhibit abnormalities in circadian rhythmicity, part of which are of central origin [2]. Therefore, we wondered if abnormalities in skin temperature fluctuations may reflect abnormalities in core body temperature (CBT) regulation in these patients. To test this hypothesis, we analysed CBT data that we had previously recorded in control rats and rats with cirrhosis [3]. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
