Liver transplantation from living or deceased donors is performed worldwide in patients with chronic liver failure. Nevertheless, in the postoperative period, patients face several issues, including problems related to daily activities, transplant complications, and treatment with immunosuppressive therapy, which could negatively affect their quality of life.
