Outcoms of Liver Transplantation in Patients with Cirrhosis Due to Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Versus Patients with Cirrhosis Due to Alcoholic Liver Disease

摘要

We read with interest the article by Bhagat et al.'regarding outcomes of liver transplantation (LT) inpatient with cirrhosis due to nonalcoholic steatohepa-titis (NASH) versus patients with cirrhosis due to alco-holic liver disease. This retrospective study showed nostatistical differences in posttransplant survival orcardiovascular mortality between the NASH and alco-holic liver disease groups. The authors also concludedthat acute rejection and recurrent steatohepatitiswere significantly more frequent in the NASH groupbut did not lead to higher rates of retransplantation.
