Liver transplantation amidst the COVID-19 era: Our center’s experience

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 significantly impacted the liver transplant process worldwide. Consequently, it brought significant challenges and limitations to transplant policies and organ allocation forcing liver transplant centers to adjust their protocols to ensure maximum benefit and avoid harm to their patients. Our center, like many others, was obliged to adapt to the challenges. This paper provided an overview of the effects of coronavirus disease 2019 on liver transplantations and detailed our center’s experience and efforts during this unprecedented pandemic to serve as a guide for future public health crises.
