Topics Covered

• 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
