Abstract
Starzl and his colleagues carried out the first human allograft in 1963, and Calne followed in Cambridge in 1968. The procedure remained confined to a small number of centres until the NIH Consensus Development Conference in 19831. The meeting concluded that liver transplantation was by then an acceptable form of treatment which should be offered more widely. Recent figures suggest that the current transplant rate is about 5 per million population in 69 centres in Europe and about 9 per million in 66 centres in the USA2. The acceleration in the world transplant rate has been matched in Cambridge where nearly 700 patients had been treated by mid-1992.
