Core Tip This study compares perioperative outcomes and episodes of acute cellular rejection between liver transplant recipients with a history of malabsorptive bariatric surgery and controls. Patients with malabsorptive anatomy have higher rates, frequency, and earlier rejection, but no differences in perioperative or 1 year survival outcomes. The mechanism of increased acute cellular rejection is unknown but may be due to altered drug absorption following intestinal bypass. Therefore, this cohort may require meticulous drug-level monitoring or specified postoperative protocols to reduce rejection risk.
