Liver Transplant Indications: A Comprehensive Overview
Received Date: Mar 03, 2025 / Published Date: Mar 31, 2025
Abstract
Liver transplantation is a vital treatment for end-stage liver disease, guided by severity scores like MELD and complications. Indications include decompensated cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, NAFLD, ALF, alcoholic hepatitis, AIH, and PBC. MELD-XI predicts mortality, while Milan criteria select HCC patients. Metabolic syndrome is a growing driver for NAFLD-related transplants. Psychosocial evaluation is crucial for post-transplant adherence and success. Careful patient selection and management optimize outcomes.
