Zusammenfassung

Purpose: Histological recurrence after ortotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for HCV-related cirrhosis is present in the large majority of patients within one year. Fibrosis progresses to cirrhosis within 5 years in 30% of transplant recipients, leading to a 5-years patient survival of about 70%. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic value of transient elastography (TE, Fibroscan, Echosense) in patients submitted to OLT for HCV-related cirrhosis. Material and methods: Thirty-four patients with HCV-recurrence after OLT who underwent liver biopsy for clinical purposes between February and Aug…
