Understanding

What is Evaluation?

A liver transplant is a surgical intervention that involves the removal of a malfunctioning liver with a healthy liver taken from a deceased donor or part of a healthy liver taken from a living donor. Liver transplant is generally the treatment option for people with end-stage liver disease or who have significant risk of complications due to severely impaired liver function. It can also be opted to manage sudden liver failure.

A liver transplant is recommended when the liver can no longer perform its essential functions and medical treatments are no longer effective. The procedure offers a life-saving solution for patients with severe liver disease and significantly improves both survival rates and quality of life.
