Additional information

Liver transplantation is the only curative treatment for advanced cirrhosis. It is done by donating the organs of a person with blood type compatibility, up to a 4th degree relative or relative, unrelated person or a person who has brain death after the evaluation of the ethics committee. If done in good conditions, the success rate is around 80-90%. After the liver transplant, the patient returns to his normal life completely. According to international guidelines, any patient with liver cirrhosis whose life expectancy is estimated to be less than one year should be evaluated for transplant. The severity of liver disease is graded from A to C. Generally, all stage C and most B stage patients are suitable candidates for transplant. liver specialists can determine which is right for them, whether transplant or drug therapy. In any case, the better the patient's condition at the time of transport, the better the surgery will perform. A timely transplant operation with a suitable donor liver results in a success rate of approximately 80-90%. Diseases treated with transplantation;
- Cirrhosis
- Liver Tumors That Have Spread Beyond The Liver
- Some Tumors That Spread Slowly To The Liver
- Sudden Onset Of Liver Failure
- Some Parasitic Diseases Such As Alveolar Hydatid Cyst

FAQ

Where are the best liver transplant hospitals located?

Bookimed works with the best liver transplant centers in the world, among them are centers located in Turkey, India, Israel, Germany, etc. All of them perform liver transplant surgery according to the strict international treatment protocols. It means that a procedure complies with world quality standards.

Best liver transplant hospitals in the world achieve 90-95% success rate.

The cost of liver transplant varies in different countries. But still, patients think that higher price means higher quality and success rate. It is a misleading criterion in choosing a hospital for a liver transplant.

Best country for liver transplant in the world is India. The procedure is 2-3 times cheaper compared with the leading European hospitals, but the success rate is even higher. The low price is explained by the following reasons:

  • Indian hospitals do not buy foreign drugs, they produce own ones. Their quality is the same as American medications.
  • General low pricing in India.
  • The country is considered to be the best place to have a liver transplant because the local doctors have a vast experience in performing the procedure. For instance, some Indian liver transplant surgeons have conducted over 4,000 liver transplants, German ones - only up to 500.

Bookimed patients receive access to best rated liver transplant hospitals abroad: leave a request and receive all the information about any country and center you want.

Who is the best liver transplant surgeon?

The Professor is the Guinness Book of Records for conducting a liver transplant for a 5-day child who is now a 21 years adult person.

  • Prof. Johann Pratschke who manages the liver transplant at Charite Center (Germany). The doctor has performed over 2,500 organ transplants together with his team;
