Liver, Good outcomes: Liver transplant has some of the best outcomes in solid organ transplantation. The average 1-year survival is around 88%, but this remains as high as 70% at 10 years, depending on the primary disease and how old and frail the person is to begin with. Many patients return to work and have an active life. One olympic snowboarder competed after a liver transplant. 20-30 year survivors are common.
