Both the patient and the donor will be thoroughly evaluated before the procedure.

Before the procedure, a series of medical tests and exams will be recommended to determine whether they are healthy enough to undergo a liver transplant. The tests may include blood tests, imaging tests, and physical exams. The donor will also be subjected to a psychological evaluation to ensure that they are fully aware of the risks and benefits of donation and are mentally prepared for the procedure. The patient will be evaluated to determine their suitability for a liver transplant and to assess the severity of their liver disease.

 Depending on the case, the evaluation process may take anywhere between 1-2 weeks.

Donation of organ (living donor) is a major surgery. It comes with certain risks, such as bleeding, infection, and other treatment-related complications. However, based on types of transplants, both donor & recipient get counselled and aware about the probable consequences by our associated hospital’s medical team

The chances of the body rejecting the transplanted organ are low among first-degree relatives, such as a parent, child, or sibling; nevertheless, it is still possible for the transplanted organ to be rejected.

If organ rejection does occur, you will be treated with immunosuppressants, which help reduce organ damage.

At our selected associated hospitals, our  transplant specialists strive to reduce the risk of rejection through proper matching of donor and recipient, the use of immunosuppressive medications, and consistent monitoring of the recipient’s health and organ function after transplantation.

After organ transplantation, patients will need to have a proper follow-up regimen and make certain lifestyle changes to ensure the best possible outcomes. These may include adhering to the medical guidance given by the doctor, keeping up with follow-up appointments, avoiding alcohol and tobacco, following a healthy diet, and staying physically fit. It is important for you to be mindful of any unusual symptoms, like fever, jaundice, nausea, etc., and promptly report them to your doctor.
