In this video workshop on the management of alcohol use disorders in the liver transplant population, Dr. Velasco and Dr. Mufti discuss various aspects of the topic. They emphasize the impact of alcohol use on liver transplant patients and the importance of maintaining sobriety post-transplant to avoid increased mortality and morbidity rates. The role of addiction psychiatrists in evaluating patients and identifying risk factors pre-transplant is highlighted, as well as the need for comprehensive treatment and support for high-risk patients.<br /><br />Furthermore, the presenters describe a case study involving a patient with severe alcoholic hepatitis who faced significant risks due to heavy alcohol use despite having a good support system. They discuss the role of dedicated psychiatrists in managing patients with alcohol use disorders, addressing risk factors, and identifying protective factors.<br /><br />The video content also includes a lecture by Dr. Wakoo and Dr. Mufti.
