Preliminary work suggested that perioperative immunonutrition (IMN) enriched in n-3 fatty acids, arginine, and nucleotides may improve preoperative nutritional status, enhance postoperative recovery, and reduce postoperative infectious complications in patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT). The current study examined these outcomes
