Who cannot have a Liver Transplant?
Even though you have a suitable match for the liver transplant, there are chances you may NOT be considered for a transplant if you have a condition that can affect the chances of success. You are unlikely to be offered a liver transplant if you have:
- Severe Malnutrition and Muscle wasting
- Any kind of Infection – we will have to wait for the infection to pass
- AIDS
- Any critical Heart/Lung condition, such as Heart Failure or chronic obstructive Pulmonary disease
- Any serious mental health or behavioral condition (which means there are higher chances you will fail to follow the medical recommendations after a liver TransplaT
- Advanced stage of liver cancer (In cases where cancer has spread beyond the liver into surrounding tissue and it’s too late to cure cancer)
In addition to the above conditions, a liver transplant might not be offered if you continue with alcohol or drugs abuse. Majority of the transplant centers consider a patient for transplant if they haven’t consumed Alcohol or used recreational Drugs for a quite a few months.
