What Is a Liver Transplant?
A liver transplant is a surgical procedure in which a diseased or failing liver is replaced with a healthy donor liver. It is the only definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease and certain liver cancers.
The liver performs essential functions such as detoxification, metabolism, and bile production. When liver failure occurs, a transplant becomes life-saving.
