Liver diseases are responsible for metabolic and cardiorespiratory alterations. The objective of this paper is to correlate the maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2max)) and respiratory muscle strength and evaluating the quality of life in liver transplant candidates. Cross-sectional study consisted of 26 patients with cirrhosis who underwent maximal exercise testing, respiratory muscle strength and SF-36. There was a correlation of VO(2max) with MIP (r = 0.61) and low scores of quality of life. A correlation of VO(2max) to muscle strength and decreased quality of life in patients with liver disease.
