Further studies are required to assess the incidence of GVHD post-LT and to determine the impact of HLA typing and chimerism analysis in assessing the risk, early determination of GVHD incidence, and improving outcomes. This systematic review highlights the gap in the field of liver transplantation and calls for revisiting the guidelines to consider HLA typing and chimerism analysis in predicting GVHD before transplantation and diagnosing GVHD incidence after liver transplantation.
