“…After two years, in these patients, an improvement can be found until the fifth year after LT [10] . Overall, many studies have proven significant improvements in general and mental health, vitality, social and physical functioning [1,16] . Physical QoL: Overall, physical health starts improving after the first month after transplantation.…”

“…This effect lasts the first six months, up to 2 years after transplantation [17] . Fluctuations are not uncommon due to the rebound effect [10,13,16] . A lower physical activity can be seen 10 to 30 years post-transplantation in comparison to the general population.…”

Quality of life (QoL) after deceased donor liver transplantation is increasingly recognized as a major outcome parameter. We reviewed recent publications in this rapidly evolving field in order to summarize recent achievements in the field and to define opportunities and perspectives for research and improvement of patient care. QoL does improve after liver transplantation according to a typical pattern. During the first year, there is a significant improvement in QoL. After one year, the improvement does stabilise and tends to decline slightly. In addition to the physical condition, different psychological parameters (such as depression, anxiety, sexual function) and sociodemographic elements (professional state, sex, marital state) seem to impact QoL. Opportunities for further research are the use of dedicated questionnaires and identification of influencing factors for QoL. Core tip: Quality of life (QoL) after deceased donor liver transplantation (LT) is increasingly recognized as a major outcome parameter. This review summarizes a broad spectrum of factors that influence QoL in LT and elucidates the evolution in time of physical and mental QoL after LT. Furthermore attention is given to areas for further investigation and the use of self-report QoL questionnaires in LT. This way, we want to offer a recent and complete overview in this rapidly evolving field.

“…However, several HRQOL parameters are also impaired in non-cirrhotic patients with chronic liver diseases, such as those suffering from primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) (Mells et al, 2013;Selmi et al, 2007;Huet et al, 2000). QOL improved following liver transplantation in all domains compared to the preoperative status (Sainz-Barriga et al, 2005;Aberg et al, 2012;Dupuis-Girod et al, 2010;Sirivatanauksorn et al, 2012).…”

Liver transplantation has become one of the most effective treatments for end-stage renal disease. For patients, however, the decision to have orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is often made in an effort to improve their quality of life and to reduce their risk of mortality and morbidity. Quality of life is an important aspect of therapy for transplant patients because this category reflects the subjective evaluation of one's own life in the physical, psychological and social dimensions. One of the means to achieve a better quality of life is not only good health, but also physical activity. Physical activity has been demonstrated to be of significance not only in the assessment of fitness levels but also could be of importance in long term recovery process after major surgical operations. The aim of this study was a review of literature showing the improved quality of life in patients after liver transplantation as well as the influence of physical activity on their physical health, mental health and quality of life after transplantation. Longitudinal data showed remarkable improvement of common domains of QOL comparing pre-and post-transplant items. Gender, occupation and regular physical activity have an influence on the quality of life after liver transplantation.

Liver transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage liver disease patients, and offers them the possibility of returning to active and longer life. A dental evaluation before transplantation is a recommended prerequisite to avoid oral infections RESUMOO transplante de fígado é o tratamento de escolha para o estágio final da doença hepática e oferece a possibilidade ao paciente de retorno a uma vida ativa e longa. Uma avaliação dentária antes do transplante é recomendada como pre-requisito para a eliminação de infecções orais, as quais podem piorar o quadro do paciente. Este relato de caso se refere a uma fratura radicular de dente anterior em um paciente em tratamento odontológico prévio ao transplante de fígado. No exame clínico, o incisivo central superior direito (11) apresentava-se sem alteração na coloração mas com mobilidade no sentido vestíbulo-lingual, ligeira vestibularização e extrusão, e fístula na gengiva inserida na distal do 11. O paciente relatou ter sofrido traumatismo na região há mais de 30 anos. Ao exame radiográfico, foi identificada uma linha de fratura radicular horizontal no terço médio, associada à lesão óssea indicada por uma área radiolúcida na superfície distal do 11. O tratamento proposto para o caso envolveu procedimentos de raspagem e alisamento subgengival da superfície distal, o tratamento endodôntico radical da porção coronária radicular com posterior obturação com Agregado Trióxido Mineral e imobilização dental. O acompanhamento clínico e radiográfico, em intervalos de três meses, permitiu observar a regressão gradual da lesão, com formação de osso no local, contribuindo para manutenção do quadro de saúde geral e emocional do paciente, preservando seu sorriso e sua qualidade de vida.Termos de indexação: Transplante de fígado.
