Core Tip	Sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for mortality in cirrhotic patients waiting for a liver transplant. It is important to recognize sarcopenia at pre-transplant evaluation, provide supportive management and optimize patient conditions prior to the transplant. Also, the future organ allocation policymakers should take into account that cirrhotic patients with sarcopenia carry a potentially higher mortality than reflected by the current model for end-stage liver disease-Na model and therefore in a more urgent need of a liver transplant.
