Core Tip	Cirrhosis in the setting of obesity especially from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is quickly becoming one of the leading indications for liver transplantation. These patients present unique challenges both at the time of transplant and long term secondary to chronic illnesses associated with the metabolic syndrome. Outcomes following liver transplantation and management of these patients will be discussed in light of the current available literature.
