Liver Transplant
Liver transplant is a complex procedure where a diseased liver is replaced with a healthy donor liver in selected patients with severe liver disease.
About Liver Transplant
Liver transplant may be considered for patients with end-stage liver disease, selected liver cancers, or severe liver failure. It requires detailed evaluation of the patient, donor suitability if living donation is involved, medical risks, timing, and transplant center capability. This is a highly specialized procedure requiring a multidisciplinary transplant team.
Who May Consider This Procedure
Patients may discuss liver transplant if they have advanced cirrhosis, liver failure, selected liver tumors, repeated complications of liver disease, or transplant evaluation advice from a hepatologist.
