It restores health, improves quality of life, and offers a second chance at living fully.

Know More About Your Liver and Its Functions

The liver is often called the engine of our body, working tirelessly around the clock. It has a remarkable capacity to compensate for damage, but repeated injuries can eventually lead to decompensation — when symptoms start to appear. Without intervention, this can progress to liver failure.

At this stage, the liver's reserve is exhausted, and a liver transplant becomes the definitive treatment.

Functions of the Liver

  • 🔄 Digestion & energy storage (glycogen)
  • 🧪 Produces bile for fat digestion
  • 🩸 Filters blood & removes toxins
  • 📦 Stores vitamins, iron, and fats
  • 🧹 Detoxifies drugs and harmful substances
  • 🛡️ Supports immune defense
  • 🧬 Synthesizes proteins, hormones, and clotting factors

When Do You Need a Liver Transplant?

Liver transplantation is indicated in patients with:

  1. End-stage liver disease (cirrhosis)
  2. Acute liver failure (not responding to treatment)
  3. Acute-on-chronic liver failure
  4. Liver cancer with cirrhosis
  5. Inborn or congenital liver disorders
  6. Metabolic liver diseases
  7. Other complex conditions needing definitive treatment

⚠️ Complications like ascites, jaundice, hepatic encephalopathy, GI bleeding, or kidney failure can significantly increase the risk of death if not treated promptly with a liver transplant.

Regular surveillance is critical since cirrhosis is a pre-cancerous condition — early detection of liver cancer improves survival rates dramatically.
