Liver transplantation is the treatment of some of the more serious liver disease, even if the operation is successful, postoperative medication is still needed to maintain the patient's physical stability. Here's how to take medicine after liver transplantation.

How to take medicine after liver transplantation

First of all: the application of drugs after liver transplantation should be very scientific. Some drugs will increase the blood concentration of immunosuppressants, while some drugs will reduce the blood concentration of immunosuppressants. Other drugs have nephrotoxicity and should be avoided. Therefore, no matter what drugs are used, they need to be used under the guidance of doctors.

Secondly: after liver transplantation, the patient's condition is gradually stable, and the drug dose should be adjusted to a certain extent. However, the adjustment of drug dose is quite complex, which must be carried out by the transplant doctor according to the patient's condition and blood drug concentration. Therefore, patients must be followed up regularly after liver transplantation.

Finally: as a foreign substance, the liver graft is always under the surveillance of the recipient's immune system. Once the immunosuppression is weakened, the body's immune system will attack the liver graft, that is, rejection. Sometimes this rejection is very weak, there may be no clinical symptoms, but liver damage has occurred. Therefore, it is very important to take the medicine on time and according to the regulations to make the immune mechanism in a stable state of immune transplantation, reduce the incidence of rejection and prolong the survival period of liver transplantation.
