See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Neurologic complications occur following 26% of liver transplants. A higher proportion of patients who received transplants for alcoholic liver disease and primary biliary cirrhosis experienced neurologic complications than those receiving transplants for other reasons. Patients who experience a neurologic problem spend longer in hospital and have a poorer outcome.
