title: [What is the potential number of indications for liver grafts in France per year?].
abstract: The progress recently made in liver transplantation requires an estimation of the potential number of cases per year in France. The study of French Death Rate per age group, compared with either formal, discutable or aleatory indications of transplantation, is a valuable basis for that calculation. It confirms the relative scarcity of the potential number of liver transplantations, which can be estimated at between 2 or 3 per year and per million inhabitants.
