Diarrhea is common after liver transplantation (LT). The true incidence of diarrhea in liver transplant recipients is unknown but possibly ranges from 10% to 43% based on a few published studies in other solid organ and bone marrow transplantation. Infectious etiologies, including cytomegalovirus (C

Anemia is common after liver transplantation, with the incidence ranging from 4.3% to 28.2% depending on the criteria used to define anemia. The cause of anemia is unidentified in the majority of patients, and it is likely to be multifactorial. Immunosuppressive-medication-induced bone marrow suppre
We read with great interest the recent article 1 describing Moon et al.'s experience with splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) in adult living donor liver transplant recipients. The authors retrospectively reviewed 44 liver transplant recipients with SAAs out of 310 patients. Interestingly, portosystemic
Adherence to a medical regimen has been defined as the extent to which a patient's behavior coincides with clinical prescriptions.

Although antifungal prophylaxis has been widely studied and practiced, no conse
