Neuropsychiatric Presentations among Recipients after Adult-to-Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Single-Center Experience in an Egyptian Sample

Abstract

Neuropsychiatric events (NC) post liver transplantation (LT) among Egyptian patients were, until recently, not adequately reported in the published series. Despite, the functional and neurocognitive compromise liver disease patients have to suffer before undergoing transplantation, they remain vulnerable to further neuropsychiatric morbidities. After excluding pediatric patients, those with significant neuropsychiatric uncontrollable disorder, illiterate patients, those who were visually impaired and those who were lost to follow-up. We prospectively followed up a cohort of 30 LDLT recipients in a single Egyptian transplant center (ASCOT) for the development of NC post LT.
