A member asked:
Alcohol side effects after underwent three liver transplants, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abstinence: Liver transplants do not confer immunity to alcohol or its effects, and the consumption of alcohol in any quantity will damage the transplant. Commonly, to receive a liver transplant, one must abstain from alcohol for at least 6 months, and abstinence is the best policy after a liver transplant.
