title: [Interrelation between liver and bowel involvement in ulcerative colitis patients undergoing liver transplantation].
abstract: Of 10 patients with ulcerative colitis 2 had primary sclerosing cholangitis and 1 had cirrhosis due to chronic active hepatitis. All 3 underwent successful orthotopic liver transplantation due to severe portal hypertension and deteriorating liver function. The interrelations between liver transplantation, immunosuppressive therapy and bowel disease are described.
