Ask Question
Generally, most patients are hospitalised for 7 to 10 days after the liver transplant depending on the patient's age, health condition and recovery rate.
What does liver failure look like on ultrasound?
On an ultrasound image, steatotic livers appear brighter, whereas the normal appearance is darker. At the same time, cirrhotic livers can be seen as skinny and lumpy on the ultrasound image.
What is the chance/probability of rejection of the transplanted liver after surgery?
Rejection occurs when your immune system attacks the new liver. It happens in 25 to 50% of transplant patients within six months of surgery. After six months, the rejection rate is 5% or less.
