What is the cost of living related liver transplantation

summary

Liver transplantation is a very common phenomenon in our current medical field. Due to the damage of patients' liver function, the treatment effect can be achieved by parent or allogeneic transplantation, but the operation still needs to be improved. Let's talk about the cost of parent liver transplantation.

What is the cost of living related liver transplantation

First, living related liver transplantation is to cut the liver of healthy people as a donor, and the donor "innocently" accepted a major operation, which costs a lot. From the first day of this method, the ethical debate has never stopped, and it has penetrated into every detail of clinical practice very strongly. The significance of living related liver transplantation lies in alleviating the shortage of donor liver and reducing the waiting time of patients with end-stage liver disease.

Second, from a medical point of view, living related liver transplantation is the peak of liver transplantation technology, which has a profound impact on the development of liver transplantation and liver surgery. At present, none of the leading hospitals in the technology of living related liver transplantation is a famous large medical center in China. From the patient's point of view, it provides a new way to end the long and painful process of waiting for the liver source and the threat of death. With the help of relatives, they will soon receive liver transplantation and regain their new life.

Third, liver transplantation mainly includes cadaveric liver transplantation and living donor liver transplantation. Living donor liver transplantation is divided into living donor liver transplantation and non living donor liver transplantation. At present, there is a shortage of donor liver in cadaveric liver transplantation and living donor liver transplantation. In most countries, including China, in order to prevent illegal organ trading, the choice of living donor liver is only allowed between relatives. If there is a blood relationship between the donor and the recipient, it is called living donor liver transplantation.

matters needing attention

Both living related liver transplantation and allogeneic liver transplantation need the right liver. Sometimes it is difficult for us to find the right liver to match ourselves, but autologous liver transplantation is prone to relapse. The cost of surgery is cheaper than that of allogeneic surgery. Patients should follow the doctor's advice to choose.
