The indication for liver transplantation is the end stage of liver disease. Liver transplantations are not carried out in Denmark at present, one of the reasons being that it requires introduction of the brain death criterion, because the donor liver must be removed during maintained circulation. To date (November 1988), liver transplantations have been carried out abroad on seven Danes. One of these died after operation, one has chronic rejection and is to have retransplantation while the remaining five patients are well. In Europe (including Sweden, Norway and Finland) and USA, more than 5,000 patients have been liver transplanted. The one-year survival is approximately 75%. After this, only few liver-related deaths occur and the majority of patients can resume their previous activities. A total of 18 Danes have been assessed in transplantation centres abroad: Two are waiting for transplantation in the near future and seven have been accepted for transplantation at a later date, depending on the course of the disease. In a number of Danes, liver transplantation has been considered indicated but has not been effectuated because the disease was so advanced at the time of referral, that the patient died before transfer or the patient did not desire operation abroad.
