What about liver retransplantation

summary

Liver transplant patients have recurrence symptoms or some rejection reactions after operation, which leads to the liver function is not as good as before. Now let's talk about how to do liver transplantation again.

What about liver retransplantation

First, second liver transplantation is the only way to save the life of patients with liver transplantation failure. With the development of liver transplantation, some patients suffer from acute or chronic liver function loss due to chronic rejection, which makes secondary liver transplantation inevitable. Complications are more likely to occur after second liver transplantation.

Second, the operation time and difficulty of the second liver transplantation depend on the time from the last liver transplantation to this transplantation. For the long time, it is difficult to excise the liver and cause bleeding, which has great impact on the whole body; for the short time, the operation is simple, and the prehepatic period is very short, which has little impact on the whole body. If patients take immunosuppressants for a long time, the perioperative stress response may be abnormal or abnormal.

Third: long term use of immunosuppressants after liver transplantation is easy to cause low immunity, secondary bacterial, fungal and viral infections, and pulmonary infection is one of the most serious complications after liver transplantation. The chance of pulmonary infection will increase 21 times when using mechanical ventilation.

matters needing attention

Liver transplantation has a great demand on the physical quality of patients. Patients must bear the operation with large wound and control the rejection at the same time. Retransplantation is more necessary for the recovery of patients, so postoperative care is very important.
