Is the risk of two liver transplants high

First, the biggest problem is the problem of liver source. Before 2006, the statistical data in China showed that the patients who should have liver transplantation were seriously affected by the problem of liver source. In terms of the expensive operation cost and the extremely scarce liver source, how many patients can receive such treatment.

Second, drugs used for anti rejection after liver transplantation, as well as antiviral drugs such as high titer hepatitis B immunoglobulin and nucleoside drugs, are likely to be used for a lifetime, and the postoperative expenses alone are beyond the affordability of ordinary families.

Third, the complications of liver transplantation include hyperacute, acute or chronic rejection, which leads to irreversible liver failure, death or re transplantation. The side effects of anti rejection drugs mainly include liver and kidney function damage, cardiovascular system damage, diabetes, anti rejection drug poisoning and so on.

matters needing attention

The risk of two liver transplants is still there. As long as we can bear the high cost and solve the problem of liver source, the risk of two liver transplants will be minimized. Careful consideration is needed before surgery.
