Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recipients' re-drinking in 20-50% after liver transplantation for alcoholic liver failure is a social problem that could negate transplanted organs provided free of donor. Psychosocial evaluation and long-term follow-up from the preoperative point of view are also important worldwide.
We created psychosocial criteria and compared retrospectively with "candidate for transplant recipients for alcoholic liver failure" and "candidate for other liver transplant recipients" to investigate the comprehensive factors. We have been conducting retrospective examination using psychosocial evaluation criteria established at our hospital, and we have clarified the effectiveness of this evaluation method so far at the conference.
