ABSTRACT

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is increasingly recognized as the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. The aim of this study is to investigate the transplantation trends of liver transplant (LT) recipients with NASH. Using the United Network for Organ Sharing database, we found a steady increase in LT rate especially in those more than 65 years old. We identified differences across ethnic groups and United Network for Organ Sharing regions. This study highlights the impact of the rising prevalence of NASH on the demand for LT and provides invaluable information to healthcare policymakers and the transplant community about the target groups and geographic location for focused and early intervention.
