A liver transplant is a surgical procedure that replaces a diseased or damaged liver with a healthy liver from a donor. This can be necessary for individuals suffering from conditions like cirrhosis, liver cancer, or acute liver failure. The donor liver can come from a deceased person or a living donor, who can donate a portion of their liver. Before the transplant, patients undergo thorough evaluations to determine their eligibility. After the surgery, they require lifelong follow-up care, including medications to prevent organ rejection. Successful transplants can significantly improve the quality of life and increase life expectancy for patients with severe liver disease.
