Aim: Neurological manifestations are common in patients with chronic liver diseases. This study aimed to depict the association between liver cirrhosis and Parkinson's disease (PD) and propose a clinically relevant diagnostic scheme. Methods: We examined patients' medical records with PD and chronic liver impairment secondary to cirrhosis or liver metastases for temporal correlations between liver insult and Parkinsonian signs. Results: Thirty-five individuals with PD and chronic liver impairment were included due to either cirrhosis or liver metastases. In all 22 patients with PD and liver metastases, the diagnosis of PD preceded the diagnosis of cancer. Conversely, patients with cirrhosis were often diagnosed with liver impairment before diagnosing PD. Age at diagnosis did not account for this difference. Conclusions: This study reinforces the potential clinical association between cirrhosis and PD. We also provide a diagnostic scheme that may guide therapeutic interventions and prognostic assessments.
