  • Title: [Liver transplantation in alcoholic liver cirrhosis: social psychological aspects and occupational rehabilitation].
    Author: Reeck UH, Egerer G, Arnold JC, Datsis K, Theilmann L, Otto G.
    Journal: Rehabilitation (Stuttg); 1993 Feb; 32(1):65-7. PubMed ID: 8465111.
    Abstract:
    Social-psychological aspects and rehabilitation after liver transplantation were examined in 21 patients. One-year survival was not different in patients with alcoholic liver disease compared with patients with other end-stage liver disease (65% vs 71%). After liver transplantation a temporary return to alcohol drinking was observed in 3 patients (14%). 52% of patients transplanted for alcoholic liver disease are occupationally rehabilitated. Social-psychological conflicts were reported by 46%. Patients with alcoholic liver disease are potential candidates for hepatic transplantation.
