Abstract
Introduction: Osteopenia, loss of bone mineral density (BMD), was recently identified to be independently associated with early marker of deconditioning that precedes sarcopenia. However, little evidence about the prognostic value of osteopenia in patients undergoing LT has been reported. The aim of this study was to clarify the impact of osteopenia as the risk factor for mortality after living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) compared with already-reported predictors in a large cohort of Japanese patients with liver cirrhosis.
