“…Gender is a parameter that should be taken into account in muscle area evaluations. In studies conducted on sarcopenia, tPMA was found to be significantly higher in men than in women 6,10,19 . However, age should also be taken into consideration.…”

“…MRI is a long and expensive technique that does not involve ionizing radiation. DEXA is fast, low‐cost, and contains minimal radiation; however, there are controversies regarding its reliability as a marker of sarcopenia 10,14,29 . BIA is fast, simple, low‐cost, and portable.…”

“…8,9 Although sarcopenia was previously considered to be a senile physiological process, it has been observed in all age groups secondary to chronic diseases. 10 It has been reported that sarcopenia can be seen in up to 70% of adult patients with liver cirrhosis. 11 Pre-LT sarcopenia is considered to be a factor that negatively affects the outcomes of treatment.…”

Background: In this study, our aim is to investigate the prognostic value of psoas muscle area (PMA) evaluation before liver transplantation (LT) in pediatric patients.Methods: Two hundred seventy-six patients under 18 years of age who underwent LT between January 2012 and December 2019 were included in the study. The patients' demographic, laboratory, clinical, and imaging data were scanned retrospectively. PMA was measured at the L4/5 level using computed tomography images. To determine reproducibility, a different radiologist evaluated 30 randomly selected patients. Results:In patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD), PMA was significantly lower than in patients with acute liver failure (P < .001). In patients with ESLD, a weakly significant correlation was found between PMA and 1-year survival after LT (r: .251,

“…Forty percent of children were found to be sarcopenic. 303 There are several nutrition screening tools for assessing malnutrition in adult patients with cirrhosis, which have been studied and compared, but these have not been validated in children. Physical examination and serum levels of vitamins and trace elements further help diagnose specific nutritional deficiencies.…”

Malnutrition and sarcopenia are common in patients with chronic liver disease and are associated with increased risk of decompensation, infections, wait-list mortality and poorer outcomes after liver transplantation. Assessment of nutritional status and management of malnutrition are therefore essential to improve outcomes in patients with chronic liver disease. This consensus statement of the Indian National Association for Study of the Liver provides a comprehensive review of nutrition in chronic liver disease and gives recommendations for nutritional screening and treatment in specific clinical scenarios of malnutrition in cirrhosis in adults as well as children with chronic liver disease and metabolic disorders.
