Liver transplantation is a life-saving procedure for individuals with end-stage liver disease, acute liver failure, or certain liver-related malignancies. While the primary goal of this procedure is to restore liver function and overall health, liver transplant recipients often encounter various metabolic changes that can have significant implications for their body composition, including the accumulation of fat. Understanding the metabolic processes and factors determining the amount of fat in the bodies of liver transplant recipients is crucial for optimizing their long-term health and well-being. Liver transplantation involves the replacement of a dysfunctional liver with a healthy donor liver. This procedure not only affects the direct functions of the liver but also has far-reaching impacts on the body's metabolism.
