Liver transplantation is a life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease, acute liver failure, and certain types of liver cancers. At Baby Memorial Hospital, both Living Donor Liver Transplantation (LDLT) and Deceased Donor Liver Transplantation (DDLT) are offered through a multidisciplinary transplant team.
The procedure involves replacing the damaged liver with a healthy liver from a living or deceased donor. Indications include cirrhosis due to hepatitis B/C, alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and hepatocellular carcinoma within transplant criteria. LDLT offers reduced wait times and excellent survival outcomes, while DDLT remains essential for many patients.
Post-transplant care includes intensive monitoring, immunosuppressive therapy to prevent rejection, and long-term follow-up for liver function and complications. Our centre ensures comprehensive transplant evaluation, surgical expertise, ICU support, and personalised rehabilitation.
