چکیده
Indications and contraindications for LTx Patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) should be considered for LTx if they can survive perioperatively and comply with the extensive multidisciplinary workup. As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the indications for LTx in adults and children differ. The main indication for adult LTx in the US is hepatitis C virus (HCV), which counts for 60% of LTx in American adults. Lack of patient compliance, poor psychological support, absence of sobriety, active drug abuse, advanced cardiovascular or pulmonary diseases, uncontrolled sepsis, irreversible multiple organ failure, AIDS, and active cancer are contraindications for LTx.
