Popis: AIM Sarcopenia is associated with high morbidity and mortality before and after liver transplantation (LT). The aim of the study was to evaluate the chronological changes in skeletal muscle mass (SMM) at different time points post-LT and to identify the risk factors for long-term low SMM. METHODS The skeletal muscle index at L3 level (L3-SMI) was used for muscle mass measurement, and the recommended cutoff values of the Japanese Society of Hepatology guidelines were used as criteria for defining low muscularity. RESULTS Preoperative low SMM was recognized in 35.1% of cases. At 1 year after LDLT, 28.9% of patients showed low SMM, without any significant prevalence change in comparison with the preoperative phase (35.1%) or 1 month post-LT (30.7%). Post-LT intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (OR 1.14, P = 0.03), biliary complications (OR 5.88, P = 0.02), pre-LT low SMM (OR 3.36, P = 0.05), and 1 month post-LT low SMM (OR 10.16, P
