[Prognosis following liver transplantation].
Many aspects of liver transplantation need further developments, but in general liver transplantation has come out of the experimental state. Improved immunosuppressive drugs and better defined treatment protocols have had an important impact on the widespread growth of liver transplantation. However, survival after liver transplantation still depends on two distinct factors, the underlying disease leading to transplantation and the stage of the disease. Patients should be referred to transplantation earlier, in order to improve their survival probability.
