transplant hepatology

Transplant hepatology is a specialized field of medicine focused on treating patients with liver diseases that may require a transplant. It involves assessing liver function, managing conditions like cirrhosis or liver cancer, and determining who is a suitable candidate for a liver transplant. Transplant hepatologists work closely with transplant surgeons to ensure the best outcomes for patients receiving donor livers. This field combines expertise in liver disease management, transplantation techniques, and follow-up care to help patients recover and achieve a better quality of life after receiving a new liver.
