  6. Unstable clinical condition or unplanned hospitalization due to significant deterioration or complication.
  7. Spontaneous weight loss (≥5% in the past 6 months, not due to diuretic or evacuation treatment).
  8. Sarcopenia according to pre-transplant CT.
  9. Inability to perform physical activity (walking 30 min/day).
  10. Refractory ascites/hydrothorax (≥2 evacuation procedures in the last 2 months).
  11. Combined liver-kidney transplantation.
  12. Pregnancy (pre-enrollment assessment includes a pregnancy test; women of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraception — hormonal or barrier methods, or abstinence; highly effective methods are defined as those with failure rate <1% per year with correct and consistent use).
