Özet

Owing to impaired immune function, surgical procedures, and multiple hospitalizations, patients with end-stage liver disease are at risk for numerous infectious complications while waiting for transplantation. Infection in transplant recipients remains the main cause of mortality and morbidity, despite advances in surgical techniques and the development of new repressive agents. The purpose of this study is to examine the infections that develop during the pretransplantion period in live donor liver transplant recipients and their effect on post-transplant clinical outcomes.
