Liver transplantation (TxL) is a treatment that rapidly improves the clinical status of patients. However, side effects due to long-term immunosuppressive therapy may negatively influence the function of certain organs and metabolism. 31P MRS and MRI are suitable methods for the clinical examination of muscles and abdomen fat volume in transplanted patients. Our pilot results show that TxL leads to an improvement of resting muscle metabolism in especially in diabetic patients and an increase of volume visceral fat in a short term (six months) after transplantation.
