Liver Transplant Program

About Our Liver Transplant Program

At Advanced International Hospital, our liver transplant program is built on a foundation of world-class surgical expertise, compassionate patient care, and seamless coordination across every stage — from your very first consultation through to lifelong follow-up.

Who Should Consider a Liver Transplant?

A liver transplant may be recommended when end-stage liver disease (ESLD) or acute liver failure has progressed to the point where the liver can no longer perform its essential functions. You may be eligible if you have chronic liver failure caused by:

  • Viral hepatitis (B or C) causing cirrhosis
  • Alcohol-related liver disease
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
  • Inherited metabolic conditions
  • Acute liver failure from any cause
  • Primary liver cancers in selected cases

Living-Related Donation Program

A healthy family member (parent, sibling, spouse, or adult child) can donate a portion of their liver. Because the liver regenerates, both donor and recipient livers typically grow back to full functional size within 6–8 weeks. Our program includes thorough donor screening, ethical and legal documentation, and a dedicated donor safety protocol to protect both lives.

Our Liver Transplant Services

Pre-Transplant Evaluation
Comprehensive medical, surgical, and psychological assessments including blood tests, imaging (MRI/CT), cardiopulmonary evaluation, nutritional assessment, and psychological screening — ensuring both patient and potential donor are thoroughly prepared.
Living-Related Donor Program
Expert guidance for family donors through every step — medical screening, ethical documentation, legal compliance, and a dedicated donor safety protocol managed by a separate surgical team to ensure the donor's full protection.
Advanced Surgical Care
State-of-the-art operating theatres equipped with modern surgical technology. Our hepatobiliary surgeons are experienced in both adult and pediatric transplantation, supported by dedicated transplant anesthesiologists and specialized ICU teams providing 24/7 post-operative monitoring.
Post-Transplant Care & Immunosuppression
Individualized immunosuppression plans to prevent organ rejection. Regular clinic reviews, blood-level monitoring of medications, and careful adjustment of therapy ensure long-term graft function and patient health.
Nutritional & Rehabilitation Support
Specialist dietary guidance tailored to both pre- and post-transplant stages, combined with supervised physiotherapy to rebuild strength and mobility. Nutritional optimization before surgery significantly improves outcomes and recovery speed.
Psychosocial & Family Support
Dedicated counseling for patients and their families to navigate the emotional, practical, and financial aspects of a transplant journey. Our social work team assists with coordination, family communication, and community resources throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does recovery take?
Most patients are discharged within 2–3 weeks and return to light activity by 3 months. Full recovery typically takes 6–12 months.
Can a family member donate part of their liver?
Yes. A healthy parent, sibling, spouse, or adult child can donate a segment of their liver. Both livers regenerate within 6–8 weeks.
What blood group matching is needed?
The donor and recipient must be blood-group compatible (ABO compatible). Our team will assess this during the donor workup.
Are transplants done for children?
Yes. Our program covers both adult and pediatric liver transplantation, with age-appropriate care teams and protocols.
