Contents: Common complications of end stage cirrhosis including life threatening disorders of variceal bleeding, ascites, hepatorenal syndrome, encephalopathy and hepatopulmonary syndrome

Preparation for listing for liver transplantation in patients with end stage liver disease includes documentation and absence of alcohol consumption (in alcoholics), reduction of hepatitis B DNA levels (in HBV patients) and aggressive treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma to reduce the risk of recurrent disease

The most common allocation system for liver transplantation is the model for end stage liver disease
