The paper analyzes the life quality of 34 patients who underwent liver transplantation using the SF-36questionnaire. The results showed a statistically significant decrease in the self-esteem of thepsychological component of the patients’ life quality who underwent surgery from one to three years agocompared to the first year after transplantation and subsequent periods. The self-esteem of the physicalcomponent of the patients’ life quality during this period was also reduced, but the statisticalsignificance in this case has not been proven. To author’s mind the decrease in the psychologicalcomponent of the recipients’ life quality during the period from one to three years after surgery isassociated with their social adaptation to new conditions, which necessitates the including psychologicalsupport in the dynamic monitoring programs for this group of patients.
