[Quality of life after liver transplant].
Hepatic transplant has recently undergone ostensible changes in post operative mortality. The present study investigates whether this improvement in survival is associated with a subjective and objective improvement in quality of life. Nineteen patients were evaluated preoperatively and/or postoperatively with a questionnaire (Nottingham Health Profile). The results showed a remarkable improvement in the quality of life of these patients, which became more marked after three months. The readaptation to work was good, considering the current state of our society. The mean yearly hospital stay was 12 days, distributed in three admissions mainly to perform hepatic biopsy.
