How much does a liver transplant cost

summary

Grandfather had been coughing for some time, and he was very thin. He went to the hospital for examination and said it was liver cancer. If you want to save your life, you must have liver transplantation, which is a great burden for us. I consulted many hospitals before making a choice. Now I'll tell you how much liver transplantation costs.

How much does a liver transplant cost

The first is diffuse liver damage caused by one or more causes. In China, most of them are posthepatitic cirrhosis, and a few of them are alcoholic cirrhosis and schistosomiasis cirrhosis. At present, there is no specific drug for liver cirrhosis. You can use traditional Chinese medicine to soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen, dissipate phlegm and disperse nodules, and promote blood circulation and diuresis. If possible, you can have liver transplantation, which costs about 300000 yuan.

Second: if you want to change the liver, you'd better prepare for more than 40 weeks. If there are no complications and everything goes well, the operation cost is about 25 weeks, and it costs a lot within one year after operation, about 10 weeks, mainly because the transplant drugs are expensive. However, if the economy is not very well off, liver transplantation is not recommended, because liver transplantation can not cure liver cancer, can only prolong the life of liver cancer patients who can not be treated surgically.

Third: the cost of liver transplantation in China is relatively high, and the cost of operation period needs at least 200000 yuan. For patients with common liver disease with good general condition, it costs 200000-250000 yuan from admission examination to operation until discharge. And the cost of critically ill patients, according to their different conditions, some are much higher than this number. In the first year after the operation, the cost of anti rejection for patients will be 700000 yuan. If anti hepatitis B drugs are needed, the cost of anti rejection drugs will be more than 100000 yuan in this year.
