The management of other aspects of chronic liver disease, including transplantation

Table of Contents: “…Contents: Common complications of end stage cirrhosis including life threatening disorders of variceal bleeding, ascites, hepatorenal syndrome, encephalopathy and hepatopulmonary syndrome -- Preparation for listing for liver transplantation in patients with end stage liver disease includes documentation and absence of alcohol consumption (in alcoholics), reduction of hepatitis B DNA levels (in HBV patients) and aggressive treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma to reduce the risk of recurrent disease -- The most common allocation system for liver transplantation is the model for end stage liver disease -- Post transplantation care of the patient requires diligent annual followup with concentration on common diseases which include: metabolic syndrome (diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia), Preventive medicine (vaccination, dental disease), Inflammatory bowel disease, bone disease, and renal dysfunction.…”
