Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is becoming a common cause of liver cirrhosis requiring liver transplantation (LT). Cardiovascular complications related to metabolic syndrome and NASH recurrence in the transplanted liver may affect the outcome of LT in these patients. We compared the outcomes of

We read with interest the article by Bhagat et al. 1 regarding outcomes of liver transplantation (LT) in patient with cirrhosis due to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) versus patients with cirrhosis due to alcoholic liver disease. This retrospective study showed no statistical differences in post
Although arterial vasodilation is a well-known feature in patients with cirrhosis, the venous system remains unexplored. To measure total effective vascular compliance, a reflection of the properties of the venous system, rapid volume expansion (300 ml of a gelatin solution in 3 min) was performed i
