Liver transplantation and hepatitis viruses

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Archives of Virology ((ARCHIVES SUPPL,volume 4))

Summary

Considerations regarding liver transplantation in viral-hepatitis-related acute liver failure and end-stage chronic liver disease are discussed. Parameters of prognosis and indications for transplantation are presented. Differences according to the causative agent are noted, in particular regarding the danger of reinfection. The role of immunoprophylaxis is addressed as is the question of additional antiviral (interferon) treatment.
