The candidates for<unk>  transplantation should be identified as quickly as possible because the progression to multiorgan<unk>  results in deterioration in many patients who are awaiting<unk>  transplantation. While many people who develop<unk><unk><unk>  recover with supportive treatment,<unk>  transplantation is often required in people who continue to deteriorate or have poor prognostic factors. The patient's candidacy for<unk>  transplantation should be assessed based on the patient's clinical scenario, as well as upon social and financial factors. Patient evaluation for<unk>  transplantation should be done as soon as possible and before encephalopathy occurs. The key common feature among various prognostic evaluation systems is the presence of encephalopathy. Other common features are patient's age and severity of the<unk>  injury which is assessed by coagulopathy or jaundice. To address the limitations, a wide variety of prognostic systems have been proposed but none has universal acceptance. King's college criteria is the most well-characterized evaluation system. Common absolute contraindications for<unk>  transplantation include untreated sepsis, uncontrolled extra-hepatobiliary infection, alcohol abuse, uncontrolled cardiopulmonary disease, cholangiocarcinoma, metastatic malignancy to the<unk>  and life-threatening systemic illness. Common postoperative complications for<unk>  transplantation include infections, graft<unk> , vascular compromise, biliary stricture or stenosis, anastomosis leakage, thrombosis of hepatic artery and portal vein and depression.
