Outcome after Liver Transplantation for Cystic Fibrosis.
Year: 1991
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Improvements in pulmonary care and other refinements in management allow more patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) to survive long enough for liver disease to become a limiting factor in their life expectancy (1, 2, 3). Since liver transplantation is considered the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage liver disease, it is predictable that more patients with CF and liver failure will be referred for transplantation. The results after liver transplantation in 14 patients with CF are reviewed in this report.
