Interested to know how does a liver transplantation work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally, very good: The new liver replaces the diseased liver and connected in the same way that the old one was connected. The poor liver function of the old liver is quickly replaced by the normal function of the new liver. In some cases, the reason for removal is cancer of the liver or other reasons. In general, the one year survival rate is about 90% and although survival is not normal, it is pretty good.
