summary

My father found out that he had liver cancer very early. At that time, the family conditions were not very good, so he had not been treated by surgery and had been maintained by drugs. In recent years, my father's health was getting worse and worse, so he had to go to the hospital for liver transplantation, and he was in good condition after surgery. Now let's share the rejection symptoms after liver transplantation.

What are the rejection symptoms after liver transplantation

Symptom 1: recent intraperitoneal hemorrhage refers to the massive hemorrhage 72 hours after transplantation. The common causes were as follows: ① ischemic necrosis of the liver section, especially the section of the fourth segment of the liver with reduced volume or split type. ② The vascular ligation line fell off. ③ Intraperitoneal infection, abscess formation, corrosion of the main blood vessels, the most common is the rupture of the hepatic artery and sudden massive hemorrhage.

Symptom 2: acute rejection after liver transplantation is common within 3 months, but can occur as early as 6-10 days. The early manifestations were fever, sudden mental discomfort and exhaustion, swelling and pain in liver and upper abdomen, tenderness and liver hardness in liver palpation. Ultrasound showed that the liver volume increased rapidly.

Symptom 3: if the patient is already suffering from liver cancer and has received liver transplantation, if the diameter of the liver cancer is less than 5cm, the 5-year survival rate after operation is as high as 70% - 80%, which depends on the patient's own situation. Rejection and infection should be prevented after liver transplantation. Generally, anti rejection drugs should be taken.
