Liver Transplant

Liver Transplant

The Department of Liver Transplant offers a lifeline to patients with end-stage liver disease. Liver transplants involve replacing a diseased liver with a healthy one from a living or deceased donor, restoring vital liver functions such as detoxification, metabolism, protein production, and immune support. This procedure provides a second chance at life and significantly improves quality of life.

Indications for Liver Transplant: End-stage liver disease, acute liver failure, hepatocellular carcinoma, biliary atresia, polycystic liver disease, metabolic disorders, cholangiocarcinoma, primary sclerosing cholangitis, hepatic fibrosis, and complex liver tumours.

Key Steps in Liver Transplant

Donor Selection – living or deceased donor
Recipient Evaluation – MELD score and health assessment
Surgical Procedure – removal of diseased liver and implantation of donor liver
Recovery – ICU monitoring, graft function evaluation, and long-term follow-up
