Despite the potential medical problems described here, the vast majority of liver transplant recipients report a remarkable improvement in the quality of their lives. Many, in fact, have normal lifestyles, in marked contrast to their disability before liver transplantation. Maintenance of this status, however, requires compliance with regular medical follow-up to implement preventive measures and early detection of complications. A basic knowledge of these issues should enable the internist, general practitioner, and gastroenterologist to diagnose and manage many of the problems unique to liver transplant recipients. The liver transplant center should encourage communication and be readily accessible to the primary care physician. This team approach is responsible for measuring the survival of liver transplant recipients in decades, rather than years.
尽管存在此处所述的潜在医学问题，但绝大多数肝移植受者都表示生活质量有显著改善。事实上，许多人拥有正常的生活方式，这与肝移植前的残疾状况形成鲜明对比。然而，要维持这种状态，需要遵循定期的医学随访，以实施预防措施并早期发现并发症。对这些问题的基本了解应能使内科医生、全科医生和胃肠病学家诊断和处理许多肝移植受者特有的问题。肝移植中心应鼓励沟通，并让初级保健医生能够方便地联系到。这种团队协作方式使得肝移植受者的存活期以数十年计，而非数年。
