Post-Liver Transplant Metabolic Syndrome.

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the second most frequent cause of liver transplantation following alcoholic liver disease. With longer follow-up and increased survival rates, the occurrence rate of the metabolic syndrome is increasing with time among liver transplant recipients. Reappearances of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease after transplantation, both as recurring cases and new instances, are prevalent; nonetheless, the recurrence of fibrosis is minimal. Recognizing populations at elevated risk and enhancing the management of metabolic-related conditions are crucial for maintaining a healthy transplanted organ, particularly considering the prolonged utilization of immunosuppressive treatments. Furthermore, NASH-related cirrhosis patients who had transplant are at a greater risk of cardiovascular, renal events and increased incidence of cancer, necessitating a unique care strategy. This review discusses post-transplant metabolic syndrome, risk factors, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention strategy, recurrent and NAFLD and customized immunosuppression.
