ABO-incompatible liver transplantation (ABOi LT) can now be successfully performed with standard pretransplant induction therapy. For patients with chronic end-stage liver disease (ESLD), ABOi LT can achieve long-term outcomes comparable to those of blood type-compatible (ABOc) LT. Outcomes of patients with acute liver failure (ALF) who undergo urgent transplantation surgery with a limited induction period should be further investigated. ⋯ ABOi LDLT achieved outcomes comparable to those of ABOc LDLT among ESLD patients but not among ALF patients. DIC results in a high risk of allograft loss; however, the combination of potent immunosuppressive agents and early recognition of antibody rebound and the initiation of salvage treatment may improve long-term outcomes among these patients.
