Disturbed liver function in heart transplantation candidates: two case reports.
Heart transplantation candidates frequently have a disturbed liver function. Two cases with jaundice are described in whom the cause and prognosis of the associated liver disease were analysed. In the 4-yr period during which heart transplantation patients with a disturbed liver function were investigated, "cirrose cardiaque" was not encountered; liver tests usually normalized after a successful heart transplant.
