Autoimmune liver diseases. Recurrence after liver transplantation

Abstract

PBC and AIH recur after OLTx. The recurrence of PSC is less clear. Recurrence of these diseases seems to be of relatively little importance in the short term; however, longer follow-up is required to address the significance of recurrent disease. Immunosuppression in these patients may alter the natural history of these entities in the post-transplant setting.
