Physical Frailty and Sarcopenia in Liver Transplantation: How Should They Be Assessed and Addressed?

Physical frailty and sarcopenia are increasingly associated with morbidity and 2-fold mortality in patients with advanced chronic liver disease awaiting liver transplantation (LT). Furthermore, they significantly affect post-LT recovery and patients’ ability to return to independent daily living, including employment. The increased prevalence of metabolic risk factors (ie, obesity, diabetes) and the aging population have contributed to the prevalence of physical frailty and the complexity of the multidisciplinary team decision-making that surrounds LT.
