Liver Graft Failure and Hyperbilirubinemia in Liver Transplantation Recipients After Clostridium difficile Infection

CDI in liver transplant patients can be very serious and may lead to sustained hyperbilirubinemia or graft failure. Marginal grafts are more susceptible to decompensate after such an infection than standard criteria grafts; moreover, already abnormal grafts do not tolerate this infection well and decompensate to complete failure in 85% of the cases.
