Ask your doctor...: Nowadays, the info for almost every thing in health has been open and transparent, but it still varies among individual and stats are merely for reference. Besides, individual multiple issues may affect the outcome of a surgery; so is liver transplant and asking your doctor is most logical since s/he knows more about your condition than anyone online.

Very good.: The overall success of liver transplants depends on many factors, most notably the health of the patient, the reason for the liver failure, and the particular center where the transplant is performed. Overall, in the United States, there is an 86% chance of being alive at one year, and 78% chance at three years. Of course, these numbers may vary depending on your location. Good luck.
