Body composition and muscle composition phenotypes in patients on waitlist and shortly after liver transplant – results from a pilot study
MRI-based body composition profiling is feasible in LT patients and shortly after LT. This can be amended to routine clinical scans and may help in early identification of patients who may benefit from interventions to improve body composition. In addition, body composition changes significantly over time after LT.
