Abstract

Neurologic complications after liver transplantation are a major source of morbidity and mortality and proper prediction for those at risk may help in improving the outcome. The results of our study showed that severity of end stage liver failure prior to transplantation might be the most common risk factor for the development of post-transplant neurological complications and careful evaluation of other risk factors may be required for those patients in order to decrease the incidence of complications. Still the use of Tacrolimus is associated with risk of neurological complications and reduction or discontinuation of Tacrolimus lead to improvement of neurological complications. According to our study, electrolytes and metabolic derangements are not risk factors for development of neurological complications. Although the risk of neurological complications in our series is high but there was no impact on the survival.
