title: [Quality of life in adult liver transplant recipients].
abstract: Liver transplantation is associated with an improvement in overall quality of life. This improvement, however, is smaller than expected. Quality of life improves significantly early after liver transplantation but seems to decline after the first year. Identification of patients with unsatisfactory quality of life is crucial, and therapeutic education is essential after liver transplantation.
