Abstract
- Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a potential long-term complication after liver transplantation (LT) and can occur as recurrent disease in patients undergoing transplantation for NAFLD or as de novo NAFLD in others. The aim of this study was to compare these 2 different entities. From a cohort of adult patients undergoing transplantation between 2000 and 2010, we selected all patients with a diagnosis of NAFLD made during liver biopsy examinations during post-LT follow-up; clinical, biological, and histological features of patients with recurrent NAFLD and patients with de novo NAFLD were compared. The diagnosis of post-LT NAFLD was made for 91 patients during the study period: 11 cases were classified as recurrent NAFLD, and 80 cases were classified as de novo NAFLD. The groups were not statistically different with respect to the sex ratio, age, prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, prevalence of obesity, or prevalence of hypertension.
