Sponsor's own description

The prevalence of obesity in cirrhotic patients who are candidates for liver transplantation (LT) is increasing, a phenomenon consistent with the increased prevalence of obesity in the general population. On the other hand, in liver patients on the waiting list for transplantation it is often observed sarcopenia. The combination of the two condition is defined sarcopenic obesity, which combines the negative synergy deriving from the two conditions. In this study the investigators will evaluate, for the first time, the prevalence of sarcopenic obesity in subjects undergone LT and determine the possible associated risk factors, particularly the role of immunosuppressive treatment with calcineurin inhibitors in addition to dietary habits and physical activity.
