Summary

Early referral and evaluation for liver transplantation (OLT) are crucial for patients with end-stage liver disease. Timely OLT in patients with preserved liver function improves survival rates, exceeding 70% for non-malignant conditions.

Background:

  • Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the primary treatment for end-stage liver diseases.
  • Survival rates for elective OLT in non-malignant liver disease exceed 70% at 5 years.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the critical role of early patient referral to liver transplant centers.
  • To highlight the importance of timely surgical intervention for optimal patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Interdisciplinary evaluation at a transplant center.
  • Assessment of diagnosis, operability, and contraindications.
  • Optimization of conservative treatment pre-transplant.

Main Results:
