Long-term Outcome of Orthotopic Liver Transplantation in Patients With Hemochromatosis: A Summary of a 30-year Transplant Program

Abstract

There was no significant iron overload detected in patients with HC after LT, and only minimal iron deposits were described in liver biopsies. Nevertheless, patients suffering from HC show a lower post-LT survival when compared with patients without iron storage disease but mostly because of extrahepatic causes.
