What is a Deceased Donor Liver Transplant?

A deceased donor liver transplant, also known as a cadaveric liver transplant, involves replacing a patient's failing liver with a healthy liver from a brain-dead donor. At Liver Surgeons, Delhi, and Gurgaon's premier transplant center, we follow strict national guidelines for organ allocation for liver transplants, ensuring fairness and saving the lives of patients with end-stage liver condition.

Advanced surgical solutions for lasting pain relief and restored mobility

Why Choose Liver Surgeon for Deceased Donor Transplants?

As Delhi NCR's most efficient deceased donor liver transplant program, we've helped over 500 patients receive life-saving organs through ethical, NOTTO-compliant processes with 90% 1-year survival rates - significantly above national averages.

Our Advantages

  • Shortest Waitlist Times: 30% faster organ matching than national averages in Delhi NCR.
  • Transparent Process: Real-time updates on liver transplant waitlist time and donor availability.
  • Ethical Practices: NOTTO-compliant, zero commercial dealings.

Organ Allocation & MELD Score System

How Are Deceased Donor Livers Allocated in India?

India's organ allocation for liver transplants is governed by NOTTO (National Organ & Tissue Transplant Organisation). Priority is determined by:

  • MELD Score (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease): A numerical scale (6-40) predicting 3-month survival. Higher scores = urgent need.
  • Medical Urgency: Critical cases like acute liver failure get priority.
  • Geographical Proximity: Organs are first allocated to patients within the same state (e.g., Delhi, Haryana).

Calculate Your MELD Score

Factors include bilirubin, INR (blood clotting), creatinine, and sodium levels. Our team helps you understand your score and its impact on organ waitlist liver transplant priority.

Who is Eligible for a Deceased Donor Transplant?

Patient Eligibility

  • Diagnosed with irreversible liver failure (cirrhosis, hepatitis, etc.)
  • MELD score ≥15 (or exceptions like liver cancer)
  • No active infections or uncontrolled conditions (e.g., heart disease)

Deceased Donor Eligibility

  • Brain-dead donors with consent from family/organ donor registry
  • Age 5-70 years, with a healthy liver confirmed via biopsies
  • No history of chronic liver disease, cancer, or infections (HIV/hepatitis)

The Transplant Process

Step 1: Waitlist Registration

  • Submit medical reports for MELD score calculation
  • NOTTO registration (we handle paperwork)

Step 2: Organ Matching

  • When a donor's liver becomes available, NOTTO's algorithm matches it to the sickest patient in the region (Delhi, Gurgaon, etc.)
  • Average liver transplant waitlist time at our center: 4-8 months (vs. 12+ months nationally)

Step 3: Surgery & Recovery

  • 6-12 hour surgery by Dr. Ashish George, India's top transplant surgeon
  • 7-10 days hospital stay; 3-month recovery with immunosuppressants
