Prevalence and impact on post-transplant outcome of sarcopenia among patients with cirrhosis on waiting-list for liver transplantation: Preliminary data from an Italian single center experience
Abstract
Background: Sarcopenia, defined as the progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass, has been reported in 22-45% of waiting-list cirrhotic patients, with one-year post-liver transplantation (LT) survival rates of 50%-64% in sarcopenics vs 85%-94% in non-sarcopenics.
