Cirrhosis from hepatitis C (HCV) is now the most common indication
for liver transplant (LT) in the U.S., but between 2004 and 2013,
new LT listings for NASH increased by 170%. Unfortunately, fibrosis
progression leading to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver
decompensation continues to occur after transplantation. Once
cirrhosis and decompensation are evident, patient survival is poor
and repeat LT is considered to improve outcomes. Therefore, the
never-ending thirst for new approaches in the management of
patients pre- and post-transplant has led to a very promising
future in transplantation, thought there is much to learn to
achieve better patient outcomes. This issue of Clinics in Liver
Disease addresses the core areas to achieve better patient
outcomes, with articles devoted to coagulopathy before liver
transplant, challenges in renal failure before LT, LT for acute
alcoholic hepatitis, LT in the pregnant patient, bariatric surgery
and LT,and MELD Scores in prioritization of LT, to name a few.
Readers will place a high value on the current state of liver
transplantation in this issue.
