    TLDR Liver transplant can lead to neurological, pulmonary, cardiovascular, and renal complications, with older patients facing higher risks.
    In the 1999 review, William T. Merritt highlighted the range of complications associated with liver transplantation during the perioperative period. Neurological complications were seen in 19% to 90% of patients, pulmonary issues in 41% to 98%, and cardiovascular and renal dysfunctions were also common. Older patients had lower survival rates due to nonhepatic causes, while blood product replacement posed risks due to coagulopathy. Postoperative alopecia was noted as a complication of lengthy surgeries. The review stressed the need for awareness of these complications to enhance patient care.
