Abstract

Survival rates ranging from 70-80% have been documented over the past three years in liver transplant patients at the Medical College of Virginia. Survival declined in patients with numerous complications of chronic liver disease and with significant deterioration in hepatic synthetic function. Early referral was a major factor contributing to survival.
