Patients undergoing liver transplant are more prone to experience diabetes, hypertension or dyslipidaemia, and NAFLD may be an important element in this context. In this study, we show how the prevalence of NASH tends to remain significant and similar to the general population. Moreover, this study suggests a possible association with specific transplant indications. Further studies are required to confirm these findings.
