Is there any correlation between liver graft regeneration and recipient’s pretransplant skeletal muscle mass?—a study in extended left lobe graft living-donor liver transplantation
This study on living-donor liver transplantation recipients showed that pre-transplant sarcopenia was associated with an impaired early regenerative capacity of the graft. Thus, along with portal circulation and graft quality, even the pre-transplant metabolic status of the recipient is a significant determinant of graft regeneration.
