Liver Transplant
A liver transplant is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or diseased liver is replaced with a healthy liver from a deceased or living donor. This complex procedure is typically performed when the patient's liver is no longer able to function adequately due to advanced liver disease, cirrhosis, acute liver failure, or certain liver cancers.
​
About Liver Transplantation:
Indications: Liver transplants are considered for individuals with severe liver diseases that are not responding to medical treatment and are life-threatening. Common indications include cirrhosis (usually due to chronic hepatitis B or C, alcoholic liver disease, or non-alcoholic fatty l (liver disease), acute liver failure, liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), and certain metabolic disorders.
​
Donor Types:
Deceased Donor: In many cases, the liver is obtained from a deceased donor who has previously consented to organ donation. The donor liver must be a good match for the recipient in terms of size and tissue compatibility.
Living Donor:
​
In some cases, a living person (usually a family member or close friend) may donate a portion of their liver. The liver has the ability to regenerate, so both the donor and recipient livers can grow back to near-normal size.
Evaluation:
​
Before a transplant, both the donor and recipient undergo extensive medical and psychological evaluations to ensure that they are suitable candidates. This helps reduce the risk of complications and ensures the best possible outcomes.
​
Surgery:
​
The surgical procedure involves removing the recipient's diseased liver and replacing it with the healthy donor liver. The surgery can take several hours, and it requires precise surgical skills and a specialized medical team.
​
Recovery:
​
After the surgery, the recipient will need to take immunosuppressive medications for the rest of their life to prevent their immune system from attacking the new liver. Recovery time varies, but patients typically spend several days in the hospital and may require a longer period of recuperation at hom.
Complications: Liver transplantation is a major surgery and is associated with potential complications, including rejection of the new liver, infections, bleeding, and side effects from immunosuppressive medications. Close monitoring and follow-up care are essential.
​
Long-Term Outlook:
​
Successful liver transplantation can significantly improve a person's quality of life and extend their lifespan. However, the long-term success of the transplant depends on factors such as the underlying condition, adherence to medication regimens, and overall health.
