Abstract

The S2k guideline "Liver Transplantation", jointly developed by the German Society of Gastroenterology, Digestive and Metabolic Diseases (DGVS) and the German Society of General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV), represents the first German-language guideline for the care of adult patients before and after liver transplantation. This guideline has been crafted through a collaborative, consensus-based approach, involving experts from various disciplines. It integrates current scientific insights and clinical experience to ensure optimal care for patients undergoing liver transplantation. Targeting health care professionals in diagnostics and therapy, patient advocates, affected individuals, and their families, the guideline aims to establish a framework for common decisions in clinical practice.

Mit der S2k-Leitlinie „Lebertransplantation“ steht erstmals eine deutschsprachige konsensbasierte Leitlinie zur Verfügung, um die Diagnostik und Therapie vor und nach Lebertransplantation zu standardisieren und zu verbessern. Ziel der Leitlinie ist es, einen Handlungskorridor für häufige klinische Entscheidungen zu etablieren, um eine konsistente und qualitativ hochwertige Patientenversorgung zu sichern.
