Theme - Navigating the Metabolic Maze: MASLD and Liver Transplant Outcomes

Objectives -

1. To understand how Metabolic mayhem fuels the MASLD fire
2. To gain insights in optimizing MASLD donor
3. To understand pre op assessment & optimization of morbidly obese cirrhotic undergoing Liver Transplantation with case based panel discussion

Optimising donor with MASLD for Donation

11:45 - 11:53 Didactic Talk

Speaker: Gaurav Chaubal

Case based Panel Discussion: 58 yr old morbidly obese cirrhotic (MELD 20) planned for Liver Transplantation. Risk assessment and optimizing for Liver Transplantation

Sub-topics:

1. Morbid obesity and potential donor-recipient mismatch, in living donor LT (LDLT)?

2. What are the potential perioperative and post-transplant complications associated with obesity in this specific case?

3. Does the presence of sarcopenia (muscle wasting), along with obesity (sarcopenic obesity), further impact prognosis and potential post-LT complications?

4. What are the most appropriate and effective weight loss strategies for this patient, considering the liver function and potential risks of worsening malnutrition or sarcopenia? Does GLP1 agonist have any role?

5. If considering bariatric surgery, what are the optimal timing (before, during, or after LT) and the most appropriate surgical approach (e.g., sleeve gastrectomy), weighing the benefits and risks in this specific clinical context?
