Pediatricians and primary care providers play vital roles in the care and management of this patient population. The purpose of this review is to highlight key aspects important to the care of the pediatric liver transplant recipient.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Recent findings<\/jats:title>\n Significant advances in immunosuppressive therapies and surgical techniques have contributed to improved graft and patient survival rates, shifting the focus beyond immediate survival to strategies to minimize comorbidities related to long-term immunosuppression during growing years, attend to patient and parent-reported outcomes and enhance quality of life. A multidisciplinary approach allows for monitoring and surveillance of both routine (growth, nutritional rehabilitation, cognitive development, mental and psychosocial health, contraception and daily activities) and transplant-related (adverse effects of immunosuppression, susceptible infections, extra-hepatic systems, transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood) themes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Summary<\/jats:title>\n Effective communication between the primary care physician and the transplant team is imperative for optimizing best outcomes. The primary care provider should be aware of the multifacet nature of posttransplant management, which includes medication regimens, common complications and infections.<\/jats:p>\n
