Liver Transplant: A Second Chance Turning Hope into Health

The human liver is unique in its ability to regenerate capable of restoring up to 70% of its mass within weeks. Yet, conditions such as acute liver failure, end-stage chronic liver disease, and certain liver cancers can exceed this capacity to heal. In these cases, liver transplantation becomes the definitive and often life-saving intervention.

Types of Liver Transplantation

Modern transplant medicine offers several approaches, tailored to clinical needs and donor availability:

• Cadaveric Liver Transplant: Performed using a liver from a deceased donor; the most widely practiced method
• Living Donor Liver Transplant: Involves a healthy individual donating a portion of their liver, which regenerates in both donor and recipient
• Split Liver Transplant: A deceased donor liver is divided for transplantation into two recipients, often benefitting both a child and an adult
