Abstract

The importance of the liver transplantation for the treatment of infaust liver diseases is nowadays regarded as undisputed. The results could be improved during the last years: on an average 40% of the patients still live one year after the transplantation. The control of the transplant rejection and the diminution of the ischaemic liver damage are preeminent pathophysiological problems. Clinical routine and experience essentially further the optimization of the results.
