Info on Liver Transplant Surgery & Recovery Process

by Crazzy Paul Digital Markting Professional
The liver is the most important organ in a human body; it is because it essentially controls the functions in the body that include:
  • Metabolism of toxins
  • Removing degradation products
  • Synthesis of proteins and enzymes from our body

Liver Transplantation in India:

Because the human body cannot function without a liver, liver transplantation is sometimes a necessary procedure but it should be done by an expert liver transplant surgeon. Though the process became fairly common in the country, the survival rate was a dismal 25%. Now, however, after several refinements to the process and medical advances, the one-year survival rate hovers around 80-85%, and today you can easily consult a liver transplant doctor in India without any hassles.

Medical Conditions Caused by the Liver Infection:

The liver infection is mainly caused by viruses and other things such as alcohol that may leads to serious medical complications. A person diagnosed with liver disease is suggested to take a special diet to protect the liver and to improve its function without over working it. The liver is an organ where any of medicine that we consume is further broken down. Some of the other liver medical conditions also include:
  • Hepatitis A, B, C
  • Cirrhosis
  • Abscesses

Duration of Treatment:

The part of recovering from a liver transplant takes around 6-12 months. During the treatment, it may be hard for a person to do simple things such as breathing or coughing unless that person will be provided with the assistance of liver transplant consultant and also you need to have physical therapy to rebuild the stamina. A liver patient diet should include some ice chips that help to clear liquids before taking solid foods.

Post Liver Transplant Care & Medications:

After surgery you will always be on medications and have to be more attentive to the signs your body is giving you. Some people feel that recovering from a liver transplant is a difficult experience for themselves and their family. A hospital should have a team of workers or motivators available who may be able to guide the patients throughout the process. Also, there are a lot of online resources available which are helpful in treating conditions as well. The main thing is that the medical care should be given to those who will need it most and priority is given to people who are in immediate danger of dying because of the liver injection.

For a successful liver transplant, individuals who go for medical procedure have to undergo the task of deciding whether they are likely to benefit from the said procedure or not. Sometimes it is just a waste of time and effort when the patient continues to drink alcohol heavily and the transplant will delay the unavoidable risk of eventually death. So, be careful and take proper care of yourself and your liver.
