Introduction and Objectives

Liver disease is increasingly prevalent in the world and in our country, the need for liver transplantation is increasing; In our country, there are more and more centers that perform liver transplantation. This study aimed to report the results of the liver transplant program at the Hospital General of México “Dr. Eduardo Liceaga” (HGM) during the last four years.

Materials and Methods

Retrospective, observational study. The records of all patients who received transplants in the last four years at the HGM were reviewed, documenting age, etiology, transplant indication, survival, and mortality. Descriptive statistics were performed.

Results

For four years, 36 patients were transplanted, 22 men (61.1%) and 14 women (38.9%) aged 51 ± 10.2 years, the most frequent etiology is alcohol consumption (33%), followed by autoimmune hepatitis (17%), and liver disease associated with metabolic dysfunction (14%). Three deaths have been reported. Figures 1 and 2.

Discussion

The experience in liver transplantation in the HGM has increased, although, in the pandemic, there was a global decrease; since they were restarted, the number of transplant patients is increasingly important, already competing with the rest of the centers in the country. The main cause for transplantation is alcohol consumption, which is a very frequent pathology in our country.

Conclusions

The HGM liver transplant program has grown, the main cause of transplantation is alcohol consumption, and mortality is very low.

Funding

The resources used in this study were from the hospital without any additional financing
