What are a Liver and Kidney Transplant?

This is a surgical method of replacing a damaged liver or a damaged kidney, or in this case both, with another person's healthy liver. It is a treatment option for end-stage liver and kidney diseases and acute liver or kidney failure, although the availability of donor organs is also a major limitation.


 


Liver transplant and kidney transplant are surgical treatments for people with liver and kidney failure, whose condition cannot be treated or managed in the case of cancer. Liver failure can occur quickly or over a long period of time.


 


Liver failure that manifests within a few weeks is called acute liver failure and is usually the result of drug-induced liver injury. Liver transplantation can cure acute liver failure but it is often used to treat chronic liver failure. Long-term liver failure occurs gradually over time.


 


Acute kidney failure occurs when the kidneys suddenly become unable to filter waste products from the blood. When the kidneys lose their ability to filter, dangerous levels of waste can accumulate, and the chemical makeup of the blood can be out of balance.


 


Acute kidney failure - also called acute kidney failure or acute kidney injury - develops rapidly, usually over less than a few days. Acute renal failure is most common in people who are already hospitalized, especially in those seriously ill who require intensive care.


 


Acute renal failure can be fatal and requires intensive treatment. However, acute renal failure can be reversible. If the patient is otherwise in good health, they can recover normal or near-normal kidney function.
