How should I prepare for liver transplant? What should I expect? — Expert Video
Dr. Amit Singal, MD, a transplant hepatologist, discusses what to expect when preparing for a liver transplant. Transplant is a major operation that requires a significant recovery period and carries potential short-term complications. To be considered for a transplant, patients must undergo a thorough evaluation, including assessment of liver function, cancer status, heart and lung health, and social support system. If you are deemed eligible, you will be placed on a waiting list for a donated liver. Transplants can come from either a living or a deceased donor. During the waiting period, you may receive bridging treatments to prevent your cancer from growing or spreading, such as ablation, embolization, or immunotherapy.
