Abstract
Acute and chronic end-stage liver disease may be treated successfully by liver transplantation. With organ and patient survival now approaching 80–90% [1], these results represent a considerable improvement compared with the early days of transplantation. As a natural consequence, increasing numbers of disorders have been accepted for transplantation. In order to achieve optimal patient survival and efficient use of limited organ resources, objective criteria are needed for transplant candidate selection. Thus, accurate estimates of prognosis became an essential element in hepatology.
