Liver Transplant

Liver transplantation is now an affordable treatment option for those with liver failure. Unlike kidney failure there is no cost effective option to maintain peopole artificially after the liver fails. The general medical treatment and alternative medicine treatments only postpone the inevitable, as the liver failure is progressive. This treatment inolves evaluation to assess suitability, finding a suitable donor organ and then removal of the diseased organ followed by implantation of the new organ. Life long medication is required to maintain the organ. Anybody in the age groyup of 1-75 can benefit from this surgery. Even selected cancer patients can benefit. Whats more- all this is now possible in India for the price of a Honda-civic!
