Frequently Asked Questions
A liver transplant is a surgery to replace a diseased or failing liver with a healthy liver from a donor (either living or deceased). It is often the only life-saving treatment for patients with severe liver failure or liver cancer.
Patients with:
• Cirrhosis (advanced liver scarring)
• Liver cancer (Hepatocellular Carcinoma within transplant criteria)
• Acute liver failure
• Genetic liver diseases
• Severe metabolic liver conditions
Eligibility is determined through a Pre-Transplant Evaluation, which assesses your medical, surgical, psychological, and financial readiness. A multidisciplinary team reviews your liver disease severity, organ function, and overall health to decide if a transplant is the best option.
