What is the average prognosis for a recipient of a live liver transplant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wow, that depends...: ...on a lot of factors--age, co-morbidities, closeness of match between donor and recipient, rejection/graft-versus-host, underlying cause of liver failure, compliance with post-transplant protocols and follow-ups, indiscretion with intake of alcohol/tobacco/illicit drugs. You get the idea--- it's not a question that warrants a blanket response!
