What is Dual Organ Transplant?

Some patients benefit from having a combined or “dual” organ transplant, meaning they receive a new liver and another organ during the same surgical procedure.

If you are suffering from serious illness and multiple organ failure, your transplant team may recommend a combined organ transplant to restore your quality of life.

Patients requiring combined transplantation are listed on multiple organ waiting lists, and waiting time varies depending on the organs required.

Key Benefits

  • ✔ Treats multiple organ failure in one surgery
  • ✔ Improves long-term survival
  • ✔ Reduces need for multiple surgeries
  • ✔ Better quality of life post transplant

Types of Dual Organ Transplants

Liver & Kidney Transplant

Performed for patients with both liver failure and kidney failure.

Liver & Heart Transplant

Used in rare cases where both liver and heart are severely affected.

Liver & Intestine Transplant

Recommended in intestinal failure with associated liver disease.

Liver & Lung Transplant

Used when lung disease coexists with liver failure.

Simultaneous Kidney Pancreas Transplant

This procedure is performed in patients with kidney failure and severe diabetes requiring high insulin doses.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Over time, Type 2 diabetes may also lead to insulin deficiency.

Diabetes affects multiple systems including eyes, heart, nerves, and kidneys. Combined transplant helps control sugar levels and prevents further damage.

Pancreas transplant helps protect the transplanted kidney and may reverse complications like neuropathy.

Why Combine?

  • ✔ Controls diabetes effectively
  • ✔ Protects transplanted kidney
  • ✔ Reduces long-term complications

Liver & Intestine Transplant

Intestinal transplant is a complex procedure that may involve isolated intestine transplant, combined liver-intestine transplant, or multivisceral transplant.

This is recommended for patients with intestinal failure and associated liver disease.

Isolated Intestinal Transplant

Replacement of diseased intestine without liver involvement.

Combined Liver & Intestine

Used in intestinal failure with irreversible liver disease.

Multivisceral Transplant

Includes multiple organs like stomach, pancreas, liver, and intestine.
