Abstract
- With advancements of liver transplantation, the patient's survival improved remarkably. Thus the long-term survivors are increasing especially for the pediatric liver transplantation recipients. Consequently they are facing the challenge of maintaining graft function while minimizing long-term complications. In this review, I will discuss calcineurin inhibitor toxicity, problems with steroid, adherence to medical regimen, posttransplant growth, chronic graft dysfunction, tolerance.
