The success rate of living donor liver transplants is around 90% which is slightly higher than the deceased donor transplants (85%). Success means the recipient's body accepts the liver, the liver is functional, or both the liver pieces regenerate to full size.

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.

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.
