liver donation

Liver donation involves transplanting a healthy liver from a donor into a patient whose liver is failing. The liver is unique because it can be donated as a whole or divided into two parts: one for a living donor and one for a recipient. The donor’s liver or liver segment regenerates quickly after donation. The procedure is carefully planned to ensure safety for both donor and recipient. Living donors undergo thorough medical screening to assess their health, and the process involves surgical procedures for both parties. Liver transplantation can save lives and significantly improve quality of life for patients with advanced liver disease.
