title: [Current status of liver transplantation].
abstract: The authors present current status of liver transplantation (LTx) in Poland. Till 2004, 845 LTx were performed: 604 in adults and 241 in children; 71 of them were the living donor LTx. Post-inflammatory cirrhosis in adults and biliary atresia in children were the most common indications for LTx. The results of LTx in Poland are good and comparable with the results published by other centers. The number of available cadaveric grafts is growing and in 2004 achieved an index of harvesting as high as 14,7 per million people.
