We retrospectively examined 154 adults to ascertain the frequency, site of and pre-disposing factors for biliary strictures after liver transplantation, as well as their management and clinical outcome. Twenty patients (12.5%) were identified with biliary strictures; 16 were non-anastomotic and four were anastomotic strictures. The median time from transplantation to stricture diagnosis was 17 weeks (range 3-366). Of the 16 non-anastomotic strictures, six were intrahepatic, eight hilar and two extrahepatic (donor bile duct). A control group (n = 32) of patients transplanted immediately before and after index cases was used to examine for correlates in patients with non-anastomotic strictures. At the time of diagnosis in the non-anastomotic index cases, there was a higher incidence of: (i) biliary sludge (63 vs 0%; P
