Liver transplant is the only definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease. Health1 Super Speciality Hospitals operates a comprehensive liver transplant programme with experienced hepatobiliary surgeons and a dedicated transplant ICU with 5 beds.
When Is a Liver Transplant Needed?
Common indications include decompensated cirrhosis (from alcohol, hepatitis B/C, autoimmune causes), hepatocellular carcinoma within Milan criteria, acute liver failure from drug toxicity, and primary biliary cholangitis.
Living Donor vs Deceased Donor
Health1 performs both LDLT and DDLT. In LDLT, a healthy family member donates a portion — the liver regenerates in both donor and recipient within 6 to 8 weeks.
The Procedure
Surgery takes 8 to 12 hours. Vascular connections and bile duct reconstruction are performed with precision. Post-surgery, the patient is monitored in the transplant ICU. Discharge typically within 14 to 21 days.
Cost and Insurance
Costs depend on complexity, donor type, ICU stay, and medications. Health1 accepts cashless claims from all major insurers and TPAs. CGHS and ECHS accepted.
