Summary

Patients undergoing liver transplantation frequently experience a reduction in skeletal muscle mass, malnutrition, and decreased levels of physical activity. These complications can adversely affect early postoperative recovery and the therapeutic effect of the transplant. This clinical study aims to investigate the effects of nutritional supplementation and rehabilitation therapy on sarcopenia associated with liver transplantation in adults. The goal is to establish a comprehensive perioperative intervention strategy to reduce the incidence of postoperative sarcopenia and improve transplantation outcomes.

Conditions

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

BCAA Nutritional Intervention

Patients will receive BCAA nutritional supplements. The supplement is taken orally twice daily, with each sachet containing 10g of powder, of which 6g is BCAA, and the remainder consists of preservatives and fruit flavorings to enhance palatability. The morning dose is taken with breakfast, and the second dose is taken as a late evening snack after dinner. For critically ill patients, enteral nutrition is provided instead. During each follow-up visit, patients are required to retain and submit all empty and unused sachets to accurately assess compliance. Dietitians will adjust the type and amount of food for each patient according to the guidelines of the European Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition to ensure a total caloric intake of 35-40 kcal/kg and a protein intake of 1.2-1.5 g/kg (including BCAA supplements).
