Liver Transplant
A liver transplant is a surgical procedure where doctors replace a diseased liver with a healthy liver from a donor. The donor's liver is usually a larger-than-normal portion of a healthy liver from someone who has recently died, but livers can also be taken from living donors. Liver transplants are the only curative treatment available for patients with end-stage liver disease and are essential for saving their lives. After a successful transplant, they can lead a normal lifestyle again and can live longer, healthier lives. The improvements in surgery, drug treatments, and after care have made liver transplants a safe and successful procedure.
