With the advances in technical skills, management of postoperative complications and improvements in immunosuppressive drugs, liver transplantation is the standard treatment for many patients with chronic liver disease. Today, shortage of donor organs seems to be the major limiting factor for the application of liver transplantation. This review focuses on five issues that are challenging to clinical practice of liver transplantation and relevant to gastroenterologists. These include living donor liver transplantation, recurrent viral hepatitis, non-heart-beating donors, hepatocellular carcinoma, and ABO incompatible liver transplantation. Living donor and non-heart beating donor transplantations were initiated as a solution to increase the donor organ pool and it is expected that there will be an increase in the number of these donors. Recurrent hepatitis C and hepatocellular carcinoma following liver transplantation are among major problems and ongoing research in these diseases may lead to better outcomes in these recipients.
随着技术水平的进步、术后并发症管理的改善以及免疫抑制药物的发展,肝移植已成为许多慢性肝病患者的标准治疗方法。如今,供体器官短缺似乎是肝移植应用的主要限制因素。本综述聚焦于对肝移植临床实践具有挑战性且与胃肠病学家相关的五个问题。这些问题包括活体肝移植、复发性病毒性肝炎、非心脏跳动供体、肝细胞癌以及ABO血型不相容肝移植。活体供体和非心脏跳动供体移植最初是作为增加供体器官库的一种解决方案而开展的,预计这些供体的数量将会增加。肝移植后的复发性丙型肝炎和肝细胞癌是主要问题,对这些疾病的持续研究可能会使这些受者获得更好的治疗效果。
