Frequently Asked Questions

Liver transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a diseased or damaged liver with a healthy liver from a deceased or living donor. It is the definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease and certain liver cancers.

Candidates for liver transplantation typically have end-stage liver disease, liver failure, or liver cancer that cannot be effectively treated with other medical or surgical interventions. Candidates undergo a thorough evaluation to assess their suitability for transplantation based on medical, psychological, and social criteria.

Conditions that may require liver transplantation include cirrhosis (due to chronic hepatitis B or C, alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis, or primary sclerosing cholangitis), acute liver failure, genetic liver diseases, certain metabolic disorders, and unresectable liver cancers.

During a liver transplant, the diseased liver is removed through surgical excision, and a healthy donor liver is implanted into the recipient's abdomen. The donor liver's blood vessels and bile ducts are connected to the recipient's blood vessels and bile ducts to restore liver function.

Liver donors can be either deceased or living. Deceased donors provide livers from individuals who have died but have agreed to donate their organs. Living donors can donate a portion of their liver, which regenerates to its full size within a few months after surgery, allowing both the donor and recipient to have functional livers.

Risks of liver transplantation include surgical complications (such as bleeding, infection, blood clots, and bile duct leaks), rejection of the transplanted liver by the recipient's immune system, side effects of immunosuppressive medications, and complications related to pre-existing medical conditions.

Recovery after liver transplantation involves hospitalization for several days to monitor for complications and ensure adequate recovery. Patients gradually resume normal activities under the guidance of their transplant team and require lifelong follow-up care, including regular medical monitoring, medication management, and support services.
