Changes in PMI and IMAC after kidney transplantation. (a) PMI before kidney transplantation was 3.03 cm2/m2, which significantly increased to 3.36 cm2/m2 at 1 year after kidney transplantation and 3.58 cm2/m2 at 5 years after kidney transplantation (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively, according to Dunn’s test for multiple comparisons). (b) IMAC significantly decreased to − 0.39 at 1 year after kidney transplantation, and no significant difference was observed after 5 years. PMI psoas muscle mass index, IMAC intramuscular adipose tissue content.
