Abstract:
This narrative review explores post liver transplant (LT) management in patients with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD), emphasizing the challenges and strategies for preventing alcohol relapse. It discusses evolving practices like early liver transplantation, relapse risk factors, and evidence-based behavioral and pharmacologic interventions. With survival rates for ALD-LT recipients comparable to other LT populations, sustained abstinence and multidisciplinary care are critical for long-term success. The review also addresses monitoring protocols, psychosocial support, and management of comorbidities, offering clinicians a comprehensive framework to optimize patient outcomes and promote equitable, stigma-free care for individuals with ALD undergoing transplantation.
