Core Tip |
Liver transplant (LT) patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 have clinical, biochemical, and radiological features highly comparable to those of immunocompetent patients, except for a higher incidence of gastrointestinal symptoms. The prognosis of LT recipients is similar to non-LT patients and is not significantly affected by immunosuppression but rather by comorbidities. Considering the risk of organ rejection, it may not be wise to stop all immunosuppression after a coronavirus disease 2019 diagnosis. All LT recipients should be vaccinated, considering booster doses augment vaccination immunogenicity. Still, a considerable proportion of patients remain at risk for coronavirus disease 2019. Therefore, social isolation and other precautions must be maintained. |
