Conclusions

punkt

Liver transplantation for familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy is performed on a world wide basis
punkt

An average of approximately 120 patients worldwide were transplanted each year for FAP. However, during the last years there has been a decline in reported patients, probably because of the introduction of new medication for FAP. Wether this decline is stable remains to see.
punkt

The modified body mass index (mBMI), disease duration, type of mutation and degree of autonomic involvment are important prognostic factors
punkt

Sepsis and cardiac related deaths account for approximately 42% of the deaths post transplant
