| Core Tip |
Sarcopenia is a major prognostic factor in patients with end-stage liver disease awaiting liver transplantation. This systematic review highlights computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging as the most accurate modalities for assessing skeletal muscle mass, especially at the third lumbar vertebra level. Despite this predictive value, the lack of standardized diagnostic criteria and cutoff values limits clinical application. This review emphasizes the emerging role of muscle quality indicators and calls for international consensus to improve risk stratification, guide clinical decision making, and enhance transplant outcomes. |
