What is liver transplant all about?
Liver transplant may be required in certain medical conditions like:
- Liver dysfunction
- Liver cancer or benign liver tumors
- Some other liver disease
- Liver injury
- Long time hepatitis C or hepatitis C virus infection
- Liver damaged due to alcohol consumption over time
- Hereditary liver diseases
In liver transplant surgery the diseased liver is removed from the body of the patient and it’s replaced with a healthy liver from a donor. In most the cases the donor is from the family/blood relation of the patient. Though liver transplant is common nowadays but it’s a major operation and both donor and recipient must be fit for the operation. Recipient may need medication regularly after the operation.
There are certain risks involved in liver transplant like liver rejection. You can learn more about the surgery at http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/livertransplant_ez/
