title: Liver transplantation.
abstract: A multidisciplinary approach is necessary in addressing the needs of a patient with end-stage liver disease. The development of the liver transplant program at MHI was a natural extension of the transplant and critical care programs already in place. The case report described exemplifies that valuable input from ancillary support groups is necessary for a successful liver transplant program. Experience gained in the area of liver transplantation not only benefits liver transplant patients but also extends to other areas of clinical medicine. One year ago, an Indiana resident had to travel out of state to receive this specialized form of care. Today this is no longer the case.
