About the treatment
About the treatment Liver transplantation is a complex surgical procedure that replaces a diseased or damaged liver with a healthy one from either a deceased or living donor. For adult patients facing end-stage liver disease, acute liver failure, or certain liver cancers, transplantation offers a chance at renewed health and improved quality of life. The process involves a thorough evaluation of both the potential recipient and the donor to ensure compatibility and optimize the likelihood of a successful outcome. Following transplantation, lifelong immunosuppressant medication is necessary to prevent the body from rejecting the new liver. This intricate process, while demanding, represents a vital and often life-saving treatment for individuals with severe liver conditions.
