What are the types of liver transplants?
There are two main types of liver transplants:
Cadaveric transplant - A liver from a brain-dead donor is used.
Living donor transplant - A part of the liver from a close relative is transplanted into the patient, typically 60-65% of the liver.
What conditions require a liver transplant?
Liver transplants are needed for chronic liver diseases where medications no longer help. Common conditions include chronic liver failure, acute liver failure, liver tumors, viral illnesses, metabolic diseases like NASH, and autoimmune diseases.
How successful are liver transplants?
The success rate of liver transplants is excellent, with over 90% of patients recovering well and leaving the hospital. Most patients can lead a near-normal life after the transplant.
Do patients need long-term medication after a transplant?
Yes, liver transplant recipients need to take immunosuppressant medications for life to prevent their body from rejecting the new organ.
How soon can patients return to normal activities?
Many patients can return to work and normal activities within three months after the transplant, provided their recovery goes well.
