Unusual indications for liver transplantation

Ital J Gastroenterol. 1994 Jul-Aug;26(6):318-25.

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to present some of the unusual indications for OLTx that are occasionally seen at transplant centers. It is not an all-encompassing treatise but rather an attempt to present the more usual of the unusual indications for OLTx. As such, it is a framework to which readers could add any we do not mention as and when they are encountered in their own practice.
