Understanding Liver Transplantation

A liver transplant is a major medical procedure in which a diseased or severely damaged liver is replaced with a healthy liver from an appropriate donor.

It may be considered when severe liver disease significantly affects liver function and other treatment options are no longer sufficient.

Liver transplantation requires careful evaluation by a multidisciplinary transplant team, including specialists in hepatology, transplant surgery, anesthesia, critical care and other areas as required.

Transplant decisions are based on detailed medical assessment and are made by the appropriate specialist transplant team.

Understanding Donor Options

The suitability of a donor and recipient is determined by the transplant team through detailed medical evaluation.

Living Donor Liver Transplant

A portion of the liver from a medically suitable living donor may be transplanted into the recipient. The liver has the unique ability to regenerate, allowing both the donor's remaining liver and the transplanted portion to grow over time.

Deceased Donor Liver Transplant

A suitable liver may be donated following the death of an eligible donor and allocated according to applicable medical and transplant regulations.
