Liver Preparation

Steps towards a liver transplant

Key Points

  • Your liver doctor will discuss your options with you and arrange any transplant tests

  • It may take a long time to match you to a suitable donor, and sometimes a donor cannot be found

  • A transplant is a major operation and complications can arise during and after surgery

  • After a transplant, you will need to take daily medicines for as long as the transplant continues to work
