• Malnutrition is a frequent complication in patients with cirrhosis and liver transplant (LT) candidates. It is highly related to sarcopenia, and their implications in morbidity and mortality go beyond the waiting list period throughout the post-LT. However, there are no specific interventions defined by guidelines regarding the kind or the timing of the nutritional intervention to improve LT outcomes. Results from studies developed in the LT setting and evaluating their impact on the LT candidates or recipients are discussed in this review, and new research lines are presented.
