Abstract
Preventive care is paramount in the liver transplant recipient and includes vaccination, dental care, and counseling to abstain from smoking. Common medical problems in the long-term liver transplant recipient include metabolic syndrome (obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus), osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and renal disease - all of which may result in increased morbidity and mortality. Common causes of death in survivors of more than 1 year include development of de novo malignancy, cardiovascular causes, renal failure, and recurrent disease.
