Association of liver biopsy pathology on outcome of patients undergoing heart transplantation
This study found that the presence of advanced liver injury did not confer a difference in the waitlist and post heart transplant (HT) survival rates of patients on the HT transplant list. This finding suggests that patients listed for transplant may not need to undergo a liver biopsy as part of the transplant work up.
