The data indicated that high IMAC with a high Ishak fibrosis stage (>3) had a significant negative effect on ΔFLRV, which was linearly reduced among hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing portal vein embolization (PVE) in preparation for right hepatectomy.

Liver fibrosis as a predictor of liver failure and outcome following ALPPS among patients with primary liver cancer

Severe liver fibrosis emerges as a crucial risk factor for liver failure and perioperative mortality following the second step of ALPPS, and is an important predictive factor for postoperative liver failure.

Impact of Skeletal Muscle Mass Index, Intramuscular Adipose Tissue Content, and Visceral to Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Area Ratio on Early Mortality of Living Donor Liver Transplantation

Preoperative visceral adiposity, as well as low muscularity, was closely involved with posttransplant mortality in patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).

Effect of Intramuscular Adipose Tissue Content on Prognosis in Patients Undergoing Hepatocellular Carcinoma Resection

Greater fat accumulation in skeletal muscle was predictive of worse overall survival after partial hepatectomy in patients with HCC, even with adjustment for other known predictors.

Overall Body Composition and Sarcopenia Are Associated with Poor Liver Hypertrophy Following Portal Vein Embolization

Sarcopenia and associated body composition indices are strongly associated with clinically relevant impaired liver regeneration, which may result in increased liver-specific complications following hepatectomy for CLM.

Correlation Between Sarcopenia and Growth Rate of the Future Liver Remnant After Portal Vein Embolization in Patients with Colorectal Liver Metastases

A positive correlation between PMV and PMCS, as markers for sarcopenia, and the KiGR of the FLR after PVE is identified, which might aid to identify patients who are poor candidates for FLR augmentation using PVE alone.

Preoperative Visceral Adiposity and Muscularity Predict Poor Outcomes after Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Preoperative visceral adiposity, as well as low muscularity, was closely related to poor outcomes after hepatectomy for HCC, and it is crucial to establish a new strategy including perioperative nutritional interventions with rehabilitation for better outcomes.

Impact of Visceral Adiposity as Well as Sarcopenic Factors on Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Liver Resection for Colorectal Liver Metastases

Neither preoperative visceral adiposity nor low muscularity were poor prognostic factors in patients undergoing liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CLM).

Is there any correlation between liver graft regeneration and recipient's pretransplant skeletal muscle mass?-a study in extended left lobe graft living-donor liver transplantation.

The metabolic status of the recipients has a significant role in the GR process and a pre-LT low SMM is associated with impaired GRR and this negative impact is more evident in male recipients.

Impact of Skeletal Muscle Mass, Muscle Quality, and Visceral Adiposity on Outcomes Following Resection of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Although stage was the most important factor, low skeletal muscle mass and quality were closely related to mortality after resection of ICC in patients with stage I–III.

Effects of liver cirrhosis on portal vein embolization prior to right hepatectomy in patients with primary liver cancer

PVE prior to hepatectomy may promote FLR compensatory hypertrophy and an increase in the resectability of PLC tumors and no significant effects of liver cirrhosis were identified on liver lobe hyperplasia following PVE.

A Comparison of Muscle Function, Mass, and Quality in Liver Transplant Candidates: Results From the Functional Assessment in Liver Transplantation Study

Given that they predict waitlist mortality and can be conducted quickly and economically, tests of muscle function may have greater clinical utility than CT-based measures of sarcopenia, which are only modestly associated withCT-based muscle measures.
