Liver transplantation is surgery to remove a diseased liver and replace it with a healthy liver. It is the only treatment modality for patients suffering from end stage liver disease, unlike in kidney failure, where there is the alternate option of dialysis. A liver transplant is not a simple step to take, but it can save your life. Survival rates after transplant operations have improved remarkably over the past several years. Currently in the rest of the world, over 80 to 90% of people survive liver transplantation and enjoy a good quality life subsequently.

| For a variety of reasons, despite the large number of patients who die of liver failure, liver transplantation has not had the same advancement as a kidney transplant in India. We at Amrita have all the facilities for a liver transplant. Our team involves multiple departments including GI surgery , hepatology , anaesthesiology , radiology , transfusion services , infectious diseases, microbiology , histopathology , nephrology and dedicated ICU staff. |
