Post Liver Transplant

After the surgery is completed, you will be taken to a recovery room for few hours, where you will be under observation. Once your doctor feels you are in stable condition, you will be shifted to the intensive care unit (ICU), where you are observed closely for several days, and your vitals will be monitored.

Frequently blood samples will be taken to check the new liver. The doctors will also keep a check that other organs like the kidney, lungs, and circulatory system are all working. Anti-rejection medicines will be administered and closely watched to be sure that the patients are getting the right dose and mixing the right medicines.

When the doctor feels you are stable, you will be shifted to a normal ward. Gradually, you will be able to move and walk around for a long duration. The doctor will then teach you how to take care of yourself when you go home.
