What does liver failure look like on ultrasound?

H
HexaHealth TeamExpert

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?

HexaHealth TeamExpert

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.
