The Dutch orthotopic liver transplant programme was evaluated recently. This article focuses on the physical functioning, the pattern of activities, the social functioning and the level of wellbeing of 31 transplant patients. Data were generated by means of questionnaires and interviews. The majority of the patients look upon themselves as 'healthy'. Their physical potential has greatly improved. Three-quarters of the patient group think they are able to go back to work. However, from the interviews it appears that one third of the patient group suffered from more or less serious psychological problems following transplantation.
