Is liver transplantation OK for chronic liver failure

summary

The liver has a very important detoxification effect in the human body. If there is a problem with the liver function, the toxins in the human body can not be discharged, which will have a great health impact on the body, so we should pay attention to it. Now let's talk about whether chronic liver failure can be treated with liver transplantation.

Is liver transplantation OK for chronic liver failure

First, acute liver failure is a serious clinical syndrome that occurs in a short time after liver damage in patients without liver disease, with high mortality. The most common cause is viral hepatitis. Orthotopic liver transplantation is the most effective treatment at present. Bioartificial liver support system and hepatocyte transplantation in the treatment of acute liver failure are in the early stage of research, which are promising new methods.

Second, liver failure is a serious liver damage caused by many factors, which leads to serious dysfunction or decompensation of its synthesis, detoxification, excretion, biotransformation and other functions, and a group of clinical syndromes mainly manifested by coagulation dysfunction, jaundice, hepatic encephalopathy and ascites.

Third: infection is the main cause of acute and chronic liver failure in China. Before liver transplantation was used in clinic, the effect of medical treatment was poor, the survival rate of comprehensive treatment was less than 50%, especially the mortality of acute fulminant liver failure was as high as 80%. With the continuous improvement of organ transplantation technology, people gradually realize that liver transplantation is an effective method for the treatment of liver failure. In recent years, liver transplantation for patients with liver failure is becoming more and more popular.

matters needing attention

It can be seen that the treatment effect of chronic liver failure with dry transplantation is limited, which can help patients prolong life and reduce pain, but the risk of operation is also very high, the survival rate of patients is low, and the cost of operation is particularly expensive.
