RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Weight gain after liver transplantation (LT) is a predictor of major morbidity and mortality post-LT; however, there are no data regarding weight loss following LT. The current study evaluates the effectiveness of standard lifestyle intervention in LT recipients. METHODS: All adult LT recipients with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2 who followed up in post-LT clinic from January 2013 to January 2016 were given standard lifestyle advice based on societal recommendations which was reinforced at 24 weeks. Patients were followed for a total of 48 weeks to assess the impact of such advice on weight. Primary outcome was achieving weight loss ≥ 5% of the body weight after 48 weeks of follow-up. RESULTS: A total of 151 patients with 86 (56.0%) overweight and 65 (44.0%) obese patients were enrolled in the study. The mean BMI at baseline increased from 30.2 ± 3.7 to 30.9 ± 4.3 kg/m2 at 48-week follow-up (p = 0.001). Over the course of study, 58 (38.4%) patients lost any weight and weight loss greater than 5% and 10% occurred in only 18 (11.9%) and 8 (5.3%) of the entire cohort, respectively. Higher level of education was associated with increased likelihood of weight loss (OR 9.8, 95% CI 2.6, 36.9, p = 0.001), while nonalcoholic steatohepatitis as etiology of liver disease (HR 3.7, 95% CI 1.4, 9.7, p = 0.007) was associated with weight gain. CONCLUSION: The practice of office-based lifestyle intervention is ineffective in achieving clinically significant weight loss in LT recipients, and additional strategies are required to mitigate post-LT weight gain.
