“…The progressive weight gain in the result is in continuum with the study whose results showed that in 17 liver recipients' prior to transplantation and 12 months after transplantation, a progressive weight gain was reported, and the rate of obese patients increased from 11.8 to 29.4% [13]. The excessive prevalence of overweight and obese patients who were candidates for liver transplants was also reported by Baraldi et al.…”

Nutrition counseling may assist liver transplant patients in controlling weight gain, addressing micronutrient deficiencies, and maintaining metabolic status. This study aimed to determine the effect of nutritional counseling on nutritional status, liver profile, and serum electrolytes of liver transplant patients.<em> </em>In this case-control study, 100 patients were recruited from Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, who were potential liver transplant candidates. They were divided into two groups: a case group, who were given nutrition counseling (n = 50), and a control group, who were not provided nutrition counseling (n = 50). Data was collected about patients' socio-economic status, medical history, anthropometric, biochemical and dietary profiles. Independent t-tests, chi-square tests for qualitative frequency distribution, and paired t-tests were used. At baseline, the weight and BMI of the case and control were comparable, but there was a non-significant difference. Nutrition counseling was effective in improving biochemical variables (potassium at preoperative, sodium and albumin during illness; p-value < 0.05), Liver function (ALT at preoperative and postoperative, AKT at preoperative, during sickness and postoperative; p-value < 0.05) and macronutrient profile (fat intake during illness and protein intake during postoperative stage; p-value < 0.05) in case group as compared to control.<em> </em>Effective nutrition counseling improves liver transplant patients' nutritional status, liver function, and serum electrolytes.

Introduction: Neurocognitive and motor impairments are often observed both before and after liver transplantation, resulting in inefficiencies in dual-task performance. Specific aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the motor-cognitive dual-task performance in liver recipients, with a particular emphasis on cognition, performance status, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: A prospective, cross-sectional, web-based design with a control group was used. The study included 22 liver transplant recipients and 23 controls. Participants completed a motor-cognitive dual-task test (timed up and go test, TUG), a cognitive assessment (mini mental state examination), and a physical performance test (5-repetition sit-to-stand test). The study also used a functional performance status scale (The Karnofsky performance status) and assessed fear of coronavirus disease (fear of COVID-19 scale). Dual-task interference was assessed and the rate of correct responses per second was calculated to assess cognitive performance. Results: The results indicated no statistically significant difference in TUG time and TUG correct responses per second between the groups (group × condition interactions; P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in cognitive and motor dual-task interference during the TUG test between the two groups (P > 0.05). The Karnofsky Performance Status score was significantly correlated with TUG motor dual-task interference (r = −0.424 and P = 0.049). Conclusion: This study suggests that dual-task performance does not differ in cognitive or motor performance between liver recipients and healthy controls under the same dual-task condition. However, further controlled studies are needed to improve the generalizability of these findings.
