What is Liver Transplant?

• Liver transplant is a surgical procedure in
  which the liver which is not functioning properly
  is replaced by a healthy liver or a part of a
  liver from a living donor or deceased donor. 
• A liver transplant also called as hepatic
  transplantation, and the procedure known as
  allograft, can potentially save people in case of
  a liver failure.

  medical conditions are to be considered for the

  hepatocytes or severe disability of hepatic

  disease
• Liver-based Metabolic Defect - Hereditary
  hemochromatosis, Alpha-I antitrypsin deficiency
  (AATD), and Wilson Disease
• Cirrhosis with complications such as ascites,
  hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, hepatocellular

Causes of Liver Transplantation

• A liver failure may be acute or chronic
  (happened over a period of time), may lead to
  cirrhosis, i.e. scarring of the liver. Cirrhosis
  hampers the livers ability to function properly
  because of scarring. Scar tissues replace the
  healthy tissues of the liver and make it
  difficult for the liver to function, leading to
  liver failure.
• Some of the major reason for the cirrhosis,
  leading to liver transplant are
• Alcoholic liver disease
• Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
• Primary liver cancers
• Autoimmune hepatitis
• Metabolic diseases
• Acute hepatic necrosis
• Genetic diseases (Wilson's disease
  Hemochromatosis)
• Infections such as Hepatitis B and C

  transplantation and performed based on the
  recipient requirements.
• Deceased Donor It is also called as cadaver
  liver transplant that involves transplantation of
  liver from a recently deceased donor
• Living Donor Living donor transplant involves
  transplanting a part of a liver from a living
  donor.
• Split Liver Transplantation The liver is removed
  from a recently deceased donor and split into two
  parts

  rate - 90 to 95 of people with liver transplant
  survive for at least 1 year, 85 of the people
  may live for at least 3 years and 75 of the
  people may live for at least 5 years after the
