Sarcopenia adversely impacts postoperative complications in living-donor liver transplantation recipients

Abstract Despite technological and immunological innovations, living-donor liver transplant (LDLT) recipients still face substantial risk of postoperative complications. Sarcopenia is being recognized more and more as a biomarker that correlates with poor outcomes in surgical patients. The purpose o...
