Liver transplantation (LT) is an established lifesaving therapy for patients with cholestatic liver diseases, including primary cholestatic diseases, namely primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), as well as secondary forms of cholestatic liver disease, including those with cholestatic complications of LT needing a re-transplant. Patients with cholestatic liver diseases can be transplanted for either complications of end stage liver disease or for disease-specific symptoms prior to the onset of end stage liver disease. Patients with cholestatic liver disease need to be regularly assessed for symptoms, lab parameters, development of hepatobiliary tumors, and the status of concomitant IBD if present, including colon cancer screening. Patient survival after liver transplantation for cholestatic liver diseases is generally better than for other indications.
