Abstract:
Introduction
the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of nutrition-related complaints and malnutrition among liver transplant candidates in Iran. Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted in two hospitals in Iran from May to October 2021. Nutritional status of patients was evaluated by subjective global assessment (SGA) and food intake of patients was assessed by 3-day food record. Also anthropometric indices, including weight and body mass index (BMI) were measured. Results
Forty-three patients were assessed. Men accounted for 58 % of patients, and mean BMI and mean age were 24.5±5 kg/m², and 48±14 years, respectively. Total prevalence of malnutrition before liver transplantation was 83.7%. In patients with malnutrition, nausea was significantly higher (P<0.05). Low Energy intake was observed in 90.7%, while low protein intake was reported in 69.8% of patients before liver transplantation. Conclusion
