Liver Resection

Liver resection, or hepatectomy, is a surgery to remove part or all of the liver, typically to treat liver diseases or for liver-donor transplantation. Patients are carefully assessed for factors like general condition and disease type before the procedure.

Liver Transplantation

Liver Transplantation is usually performed for people with complications due to end-stage chronic liver diseases. Depending on the condition, a whole or part of the liver may be transplanted. In most cases, a healthy liver is obtained from deceased donors.

FAQ's

The manifestation of symptoms may not occur in liver diseases. If they occur, they may include signs of jaundice, itchy skin, swelling or abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting, pale stool, dark urine, loss of appetite, constant fatigue, swelling of ankles and legs, and bruising.

Your symptoms, medical and family history, lifestyle, and past consultations are discussed. Physical examinations may include checking for signs of jaundice or rashes. Blood tests, including liver function tests (LFTs), are advised to help diagnose any problems or genetic abnormalities. Diagnostic imaging is also recommended if they suspect variations in LFT. After the necessary evaluations, treatment plans are reviewed based on your results.

Components typically include checking levels of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), bilirubin, gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT), and alkaline phosphatase. Variation in these levels may signify hepatocellular damage or damage to the biliary tract lining.

Both scores are used by experts to assess and determine the prognosis of liver diseases, especially in patients with cirrhosis. The Child-Pugh score is used to evaluate the severity of liver dysfunction. On the other hand, the MELD score is employed to assess eligibility for liver transplant patients.

Modifying your lifestyle can help a lot in preventing certain liver diseases. Along with maintaining a balanced diet and quitting smoking and alcohol, you should perform regular checkups as well as avoid exposure to harmful chemicals or products. Moreover, using contraceptives while engaging in intercourse can reduce the risk of hepatitis.
