Objective assessment of subcutaneous adipose tissue by CT analysis was significantly correlated with the subjective assessment of malnutrition by NFPE in both pretransplant and posttransplant patients. Skeletal muscle index scores were significantly lower in pretransplant patients who were diagnosed with malnutrition.
