Types of Liver Transplants

• Deceased Liver Transplant It is a type of liver
  transplantation in which the donor of liver is a
  person who has recently died.
• Living Donor Liver Transplant In this type of
  liver transplant surgery, a section of liver is
  taken up from a living donor. As liver can
  regenerate on its own, the two sections -
  transplanted liver as well as the remaining
  section of donor liver re-grow into a complete
  liver.

Investigations prior to Liver Transplantation

  investigations to make sure that the donor is
  healthy and can survive the surgery.

  candidate for liver transplantation. Blood tests
  are done to ascertain compatibility along with
  some other tests such as Chest X-ray, Abdmominal
  CT scan, Echo, EKG, physical assessment by
  physician and psychological tests.
