What is Liver Transplant?

A liver transplant is a surgical procedure to remove a diseased liver and replace it with a healthy liver from a donor. Most liver transplant operations use livers from deceased donors, though a liver may also come from a living donor. The donor liver is transported in a cooled salt-water (saline) solution that preserves the organ for up to 8 hours. The necessary tests can then be done to match the donor with the recipient. The new liver is removed from the donor through a surgical cut in the upper abdomen. It is placed into the patient who needs the liver (called the recipient), and attached to the blood vessels and bile ducts. The operation may take up to 12 hours. The recipient will often need a large amount of blood through a transfusion.

Liver Transplant Preparation

Before you undergo liver transplant, we require relevant records of the patient as instructed by our doctors. Once the doctor has checked and approved that you can undergo liver transplant, the next step is to arrange the donor. As per the medical requirements, the donor should a family member between 18 to 65 years old with suitable blood group. There are various tests that the donor and recipients need to go through before leaving the home country for treatment. Medokean helps you right from initial consultation to meetings/discussion with doctors, explaining legal requirements and other important items.
