Reply to: 'Fatigue and liver transplantation in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis'

摘要

To the Editor: We would like to thank Kalaitzakis et al. [1] for the comments on our article on the effect of liver transplantation (LT) on fatigue in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) [2]. They confirm in an independent PBC cohort that fatigue remains a problem after LT. They also address some important issues, such as the need for an accurate assessment of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) before LT in patients with PBC, and that fatigue may not be specific to PBC.
