Are you a hepatologist or a medical professional involved in liver transplantation? If so, you won’t want to miss the latest issue of Liver Transplantation Management, edited by David Goldberg MD JD and Dr. Norman Gitlin. This state-of-the-art issue is a comprehensive resource that covers all aspects of liver transplant management, from pre-surgical evaluation to post-operative care.

Featuring expert authors in the field, this issue provides current clinical reviews that will enhance your understanding of the complexities of liver transplantation. The articles delve into a wide range of topics that are relevant to both liver transplant candidates and recipients. Whether you’re interested in expanding the donor pool, optimizing patient selection, managing complications, or exploring new treatment options, this issue has you covered.

One of the key themes explored in this issue is the changing landscape of liver transplantation. The authors discuss how the demographics of liver transplant recipients have shifted from those with hepatitis C to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and alcohol-related liver disease. This shift has prompted the need for new strategies and approaches to improve outcomes in these patients.

Another important topic covered is the expanding role of living donor liver transplantation. With the shortage of deceased donor organs, living donor liver transplantation has become an increasingly important option for patients in need. The authors examine the latest advancements in donor selection and recipient indications, providing valuable insights for clinicians.

The issue also explores the complexities of managing patients with end-stage liver disease while they await transplantation. Specifically, it addresses the management of complications of portal hypertension, a common problem in this patient population. By understanding the latest approaches to managing these complications, clinicians can optimize patient outcomes and improve quality of life.

One of the most exciting developments in the field of liver transplantation is the utilization of livers from hepatitis C-viremic donors into hepatitis C-negative patients. This paradigm shift has the potential to significantly expand the donor pool and save more lives. The authors discuss the controversies surrounding this approach and highlight early successes.

With 240 pages of in-depth information, this issue is a must-have resource for any hepatologist or medical professional involved in liver transplantation. Its practical approach and evidence-based recommendations will help you make informed decisions and provide the best possible care to your patients.
