As detected by cross-sectional imaging, severe muscle depletion, which is termed
sarcopenia, holds promise for prognostication in patients with cirrhosis. Our
aims were to describe the prevalence and predictors of sarcopenia in patients
with cirrhosis listed for liver transplantation (LT) and to determine its

LT in 2012 at 5 North American transplant centers. All computed tomography scans
were re... hiện toàn bộ
