Obesity Is Increasing in Liver Transplant Recipients and Exacerbates Cardiovascular Risk: A Single-Centre European Study.

Purpose: Recent changes in the profile of liver transplant (LT) recipients include an increasing number of patients with metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which is associated with obesity and cardiovascular risk. We aimed to investigate the trend in the presence of obesity among LT recipients and its association with cardiovascular risk.

Materials And Methods: Single-centre retrospective study, which included LT recipients between 2015 and 2020.
