What is a liver transplant?

When your liver no longer functions properly, a liver transplant, also known as a hepatic transplant, can potentially save your life. The therapy entails surgically removing your entire liver. It is then completely or partially replaced with a healthy donor liver. This might originate from either alive or deceased donors. A healthy liver is crucial for lifespan since it is in charge of filtering blood and eliminating toxins from your body. For chronic (long-term) liver illnesses and severe acute (sudden onset) liver diseases, a liver transplant is a last-resort option.

Why liver transplants are done?

A person with end-stage liver disease may be recommended for a liver transplant by a doctor. Without a transplant, a person with this disease will die. If other therapies for liver illness aren't keeping a person alive, a doctor may recommend a liver transplant. Liver transplants may be a possibility if you have chronic liver disease or if your liver fails fast. The most prevalent reason for adult liver transplants is cirrhosis. Cirrhosis causes damaged liver tissue to replace good liver tissue. Cirrhosis is caused by a variety of factors, including alcoholism.

  • Hepatitis B or C is a kind of chronic hepatitis.
  • fatty liver illness that is not caused by alcohol
  • autoimmune hepatitis
  • Biliary atresia, a neonatal liver illness
  • Biliary atresia, a newborn liver illness

Before approving a liver transplant, a doctor will consider if the procedure will be successful and whether it would extend a person's life. If a person has additional chronic illnesses that might compromise the effectiveness of a transplant, they may not be a suitable candidate. Examples include a person with cancer that has spread to other regions of the body or who has significant cardiac issues. As another example, if a person develops cirrhosis as a result of alcoholism, their capacity to stop drinking is assessed as part of the transplant preparation.

What happens during a liver transplant?

If you are told that a liver from a deceased donor is available, you must come to the hospital immediately. Your health care team will admit you to the hospital, and you will be examined to ensure that you are in good enough health for the operation. Because liver transplant surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, you will be sedated during the operation. To reach your liver, the transplant surgeon makes a long incision across your belly. The size and placement of your incision are determined by your surgeon's technique and your anatomy. The surgeon removes the damaged liver and replaces it with a donor’s liver. The surgeon will next attach your blood vessels and bile ducts to the donated liver. Depending on your condition, surgery might last up to 12 hours. Once your replacement liver is in place, the surgeon will seal the surgical wound with stitches and staples. You are then transferred to an intensive care unit to begin your recovery.

Recovery

After your liver transplant operation, you should expect to be completely recovered in six months or longer. After a few months, you may be able to resume normal activities or return to work. The length of time it takes you to recover is likely to be determined by how sick you were before the liver transplant.
