Abstract:
Aim

This this study aimed to investigate the causes and prognoses of liver re-transplantation in patients referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital Liver Transplantation Center.

Background

Organ shortage is a major problem in the world, a high demand for liver transplantation has exacerbated this problem. Thus, providing more information on the causes of liver re-transplantation, its prognosis, and other issues related to this procedure is of great importance.

Methods

This study was conducted in 2018 as a historical cohort. In this study, the records of liver transplantation patients at Imam Khomeini Hospital Liver Transplantation Center between 2000 and 2016 were studied, and data was extracted from the records of patients undergoing liver transplantation. Patient data was entered into SPSS 20 software and analyzed.

Results

In this study, 1030 patients with a mean age of 43.15 ± 14.57 years were studied. There were 426 women (41.4%) and 604 men (58.6%). The number of primary transplants was 966 with a mean age of 43.19 ± 14.72, and the number of re-transplants was 64 with a mean age of 42.56 ± 12.82. Significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of MELD and CHILD scores, cold ischemic time, total and direct bilirubin levels, liver function factors (ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase), hemoglobin, and WBC. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, sex, or platelets (> 0.05). The mortality rate was 241 (23.39%) in all patients and the mortality rate was 206 (21.32%) and in liver transplant patients was 35 (54.68%). The mortality rate in the transplant group was statistically higher (p<0.001). Secondary was primary non-functional graft (PNF) (37.5%) with 1-, 3, and 5-year survival rates of 82%, 81%, and 70% in primary group and 59%, 43% and 32% in re-transplantation, respectively. There was a significant difference in survival between the two groups (p <0.05). Hemoglobin and alkaline phosphatase were predictors of survival rates in transplant patients.

Conclusion

The results of this study showed that the survival rate of re-transplant patients was significantly lower than that of primary transplant patients, and the mortality rate in re-transplant patients was significantly higher.
