Résumé
Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass and function. Our aim is to evaluate the degree of sarcopenia by measuring the patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation and its influence on the different post-liver transplant outcomes in our group.

RESULTS
The 57 recipients had a mean age of 57 years (range, 35-73) and had a mean of 7.4 months (range, 0-39) on the liver transplant waiting list. The mean psoas muscle index was 2.39 (range, 1-4), and the mean body mass index was 28.01kg/m
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
PMI is not representative of total muscle mass and sarcopenia and is not effective in adequately predicting the survival of patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation.
