What is the cost of liver transplantation

summary

When I went home to chat with my family, I was surprised to learn that my neighbor was ill and needed liver transplantation. As a result, I was popularized a lot of knowledge about liver transplantation. Today, let me talk about the cost of liver transplantation.

What is the cost of liver transplantation

First, the cost of liver transplantation has two parts: 1. Perioperative expenses: (from operation to discharge) generally 20 to 300 thousand. If there are serious complications and the situation is not smooth, there may be more. If the situation is smooth, more than 200000 yuan may be enough. 2。 Postoperative medication costs: mainly the cost of immunosuppressants, thousands of yuan per month, because the amount of individual medication may be different, the cost will be different. About 60000 to 80000 in the first year.

Second, the cost of liver transplantation is not covered by medical insurance in most areas of China. Basically, they are all at their own expense, and only a few regions or units can claim reimbursement. However, most areas of the country have been included in the medical insurance, and most of the medical insurance reimbursement. The cost gradually decreased with the decrease of dosage. It will decrease in the second year. The third year will be less.

Third: liver transplantation also has the best operation time. Experts believe that as long as patients with benign end-stage liver disease have gastrointestinal bleeding once, they will be in danger of life at any time within a year, so they should have liver transplantation as soon as possible; if they have gastrointestinal bleeding more than three times, it is difficult to survive even if they have transplanted a new liver. Patients with refractory massive ascites and patients with refractory hypoproteinemia can no longer survive on their own system, so new liver transplantation is needed immediately.

matters needing attention

Generally, it is difficult to cure liver disease, so we should actively accept treatment when we first find it in the early stage. At the same time, we should also do a good job in nursing in the later stage. In addition, family members should encourage patients more to relieve their tension and calm their mind.
