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.
