Living Donor Liver Transplantation

This kind of liver transplant is the best alternative to deceased-donor organ transplantation wherein a living person or a donor is willing to donate a liver to the receiver (patient). This often saves time and improvises life expectancy with a liver-donor transplant. However, a living donor should be a blood relative of the recipient, who can donate a part of his/her liver. The operation performed by the liver transplant specialist in Bangalore is entirely safe, and the donated part of the liver is quickly regenerated in both the donor and the recipient within a few weeks.

Eligible Candidate for Liver Donor

A donor has to be a close blood relative to the recipient.
Liver should be donated entirely on his/her willingness.
Donor candidate should be between the age group of 18 and 55 years.
