Abstract
Liver transplantation for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease/steatohepatitis (NAFLD/NASH) is increasing rapidly worldwide. Compared with alcohol and viral-related liver disease, NAFLD/NASH is more frequently associated with a systemic metabolic syndrome, which significantly affects other organs, requiring multidisciplinary management, in all phases of liver transplant.
