Liver transplantation (LT) for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive recipients with end-stage liver disease has become an accepted practice. However, because these patients are increasingly being recognized as prothrombotic, we reviewed their posttransplant thrombotic complications. Because m

✦ Synopsis
Nodular regenerative hyperplasia is one of the causes of noncirrhotic portal hypertension and has recently been described in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients, and the potential role of a prothrombotic state and hepatotoxic antiretroviral medication has been suggested. Moreover, it is now established that liver transplantation is feasible in HIV-infected patients. We describe here our experience concerning 3 HIV-infected patients with severe complications of nodular regenerative hyperplasia treated with liver transplantation.
