Liver Transplant Guidelines:

Recipient / Patient Evaluation

You should have a letter / prescription from a gastroenterologist/ hepatologist / physician which will recommend a liver transplant as the treatment of your liver disease. This is important, as we would like you to remain in the care of your treating physician after going back to your hometown after transplant.

The need for liver transplant will be reassessed and confirmed once you reach our centre.

If you wish to have an opinion over e-mail about the possible need for a liver transplant, please mail the following reports to us at the earliest: 

A medical summary prepared by any doctor detailing the history/symptoms is very useful. HBsAg, Anti HCV, HIV I & II, CBC, Liver function tests (LFT), Urea , Creatinine, Sodium, Potassium,

 Prothrombin Time / INR, AFP, Ultrasonography (USG). These will help us guide you about the need for a liver transplant.

However, once you are here we will examine you and perform a few more tests which will decide if you are fit to have such a major operation.
