Individuals who had undergone liver transplantation (LT) for sarcoidosis have lower graft and patient survival than those with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) or primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a study has found. More than six in 10 patients have survived 5 years following transplantation, which suggests the acceptability of LT in this population.
