Ultrasound assessment of abdominal wall muscle thickness in liver transplant recipients and healthy donors: a comparative study for the assessment of sarcopenia
USG-derived abdominal muscle thickness, especially EO <3.6 mm and TA <2.55 mm in males, is a reliable, non-invasive marker for sarcopenia in liver transplant candidates. It correlates with disease severity and postoperative morbidity, supporting its utility in pre-transplant risk stratification.
