Liver Transplant Counselling

Yes. Liver transplant services are available in Nepal in selected centers with trained teams. The procedure is performed by a multidisciplinary group including transplant hepatologists, transplant surgeons, anesthesiologists, ICU specialists, radiologists, and experienced nursing teams. At NGLC, patients are evaluated and guided by specialists trained in high-volume transplant centers, ensuring safe referral and coordinated care throughout the process.

Patients with:

Persistent or recurrent ascites

Repeated jaundice or swelling

Hepatic encephalopathy (confusion due to liver failure)

Frequent hospital admissions for liver-related complications

Liver cancer that fits transplant criteria
Such patients should undergo early evaluation to determine timing of transplant.

We provide comprehensive pre-transplant evaluation, medical stabilization, management of liver complications, donor evaluation support, transplant counseling for patients and families, coordination with transplant centers, and long-term post-transplant follow-up care.

Donors may be:

- Living related donors (usually family members), or

- Deceased donors where available:
Donors undergo detailed medical, liver, and imaging tests to ensure donor safety and suitability.

Evaluation includes blood tests, imaging (Ultrasound/CT/MRI), endoscopy, heart and lung assessment, nutritional assessment, and psychological evaluation. This helps determine transplant readiness and optimal timing.

After transplant, patients require immunosuppressive medications, regular follow-ups, and a healthy lifestyle. Most patients can return to daily work and normal activities once recovery is achieved and liver function stabilizes.
