ABSTRACT
Biliary tract diseases have always been one of the important indications for liver transplantation. These biliary tract diseases include congenital atresia of biliary duct, biliary diseases with tendency of malignant transformation, malignant biliary diseases, primary biliary cirrhosis, and secondary biliary cirrhosis. The right time to consider liver transplantation for the above biliary diseases includes situations when transplantation is the only approach to treat the disease, the only effective approach to treat the disease, or one of the effective approaches to treat the disease. Currently there is still no commonly accepted pre-operative evaluation standard for biliary disease-related liver transplantation. However, it is important to obey the following principles. First, the diagnosis should be confirmed; secondary, the necessity or urgency of the liver transplantation should be clarified; and third, the patient and his/her family should understand the whole procedure of transplantation the risk and advantage of the surgery, and the potential life-long intake of immunosuppressors. This article will briefly review all these relavant issues based on the authors' personal experience and clinical cases.
