Living Donor Liver Transplant Treatment in India

Living donor liver transplant replaces a diseased or failing liver with a healthy portion of liver donated by a living relative or matched donor. Both the donor's and recipient's liver segments regenerate to near-normal size within weeks, making this a life-saving option for patients with end-stage liver disease who may not have time to wait for a deceased-donor organ.
