Live Donor Liver Transplant in Iran
Liver transplant is critically essential when the liver loses its normal function. This malfunction can occur suddenly (acute failure) or during the course of time, for example, after an infection, medication or prolonged health problems.
In recent decades, Liver transplant from a live donor is noticed as a surgical option for the patients in the final stage of liver failure (cirrhosis). The causes of liver failure are often the followings: long-term alcohol consumption, long-term of hepatitis C and B without treatment.
In this method, a part of the healthy liver of the live person will be dissected during the surgery and immediately transplanted to the recipient, and the liver of the patient will be removed completely.
