Long-term Outcomes of Adult and Pediatric Liver Transplantation
Friday, October 30
7:55am – 3:15pm
Course Directors:
Sandy Feng, MD, PhD Jan Lerut, MD, PhD

Improvements in transplantation medicine and surgery have led to a steep increase in the number surviving liver transplant recipients. The goal of this AASLD/ILTS course is to comprehensively inform transplant professionals regarding the long-term issues and consequences of liver transplantation. Much of this course content will reflect recently available data with a focus on four primary aspects of long-term post-liver transplant outcomes:

long-term benefits of liver transplantation
'natural' evolution of specific liver diseases after successful transplantation;
psychosocial and economic impact of long-term survival after liver transplantation;
impact of liver transplantation and the attendant immunosuppression on other organ systems.

Goals and Objectives:

Critically evaluate the real benefit of liver transplantation for both adult and pediatric recipients.
Anticipate the variable presentation of allograft disease, both recurrent and de novo, and adapt therapeutic interventions appropriately.
Appreciate the physical and psychosocial impact of liver transplantation and their evolution over the medium- and long-term.
Develop a strategy to monitor for, diagnose, and manage medical co-morbidities as they develop in the long-term liver transplant recipient.
Identify strategies to prevent the development of medical co-morbidities.
