The aim of the present study was to investigate whether LT candidates with sarcopenia are at an increased risk of receiving an inappropriate standard liver volume (SLV) estimation by standard body weight (BW)‐derived SLV formula. Non‐BW‐SLV estimation formulas were tested in 262 LDLT donors and compared to a standard BW‐SLV formula. The anthropometric parameters used were the thoracic width (TW‐SLV)...
Aim
Sarcopenia is associated with high morbidity and mortality before and after liver transplantation (LT). The aim of the study was to evaluate the chronological changes in skeletal muscle mass (SMM) at different time points post‐LT and to identify the risk factors for long‐term low SMM.
Methods
The skeletal muscle index at L3 level (L3‐SMI) was used for muscle mass measurement, and the recommended...
