Background: With regard to quality of life and organ shortage, follow-up after liver transplantation (LT) should consider risk factors for allograft failure in order to avoid the need for re-LT and to improve the long-term outcome of recipients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore potential risk factors for allograft failure after LT.
Material And Methods: A total of 489 consecutive LT recipients who received follow-up care at the University Hospital of Muenster were included in this study.
