Abstract

The economic theory of liver transplant (LT) and issues specifically related to the waiting list are still in their early days, not being fully explored from the theoretical, empirical point of view and their implications for the formulation of evidence-based public policies. The success of each LT stage (pre-LT, LT, and post-LT) is based on the success of the previous one, hence the need for a detailed study of each of them. Previous economic analyses have focused only on the cost of LT. However, comprehensive economic assessments that allow the integrated and detailed study of each of the steps will allow investment in the most critical points of the processes. In this way, there will be effective management with the elaboration and implementation of public policies that make processes more cost-effective, maximizing the benefit of LT. Our chapter will focus on the pharmacoeconomic study of the different stages that make up LT in chronic liver diseases. It will also allow reflection and analysis of the policies established in transplant centers; in this way to make better use of resources and seek a greater benefit from the transplant.
