Methods: All cirrhotic males older than 45 y/o in the waiting list of liver transplant, were enrolled in the study. After receiving a medical history and checking a total PSA (tPSA), patients who had abnormality were excluded from the study. So, 60 patients who underwent liver transplantation surgery, with a normal 3 month follow up liver function tests (LFT) participated in this study. Thereafter the tPSA level was checked again. Ultimately 30 patients performed the tPSA after a successful liver transplant.
