Adherence

Sarcopenia should not be the sole criterion for declining or de-listing candidates for liver transplantation; it should be considered in the full context of other medical and psychosocial factors.

If you have sarcopenia, it does not automatically disqualify you from a liver transplant. It is a risk factor that your medical team will consider alongside your overall health. It may motivate your team to prioritize your case or consider different types of donor livers.
