 Hi, I am Dr. Ravichan Siddhajwari, Consultant Hepatobiliary and Liver Transplant Surgeon, Manipal Hospitals Bangalore. So as you all know that we have this coronavirus pandemic and I would like to talk about what these liver patients have to do. The patients who need transplant and the patients who already had transplant done. So how they are going to take care of themselves, so about the precautions they have to take and about the treatment required in case if there is an emergency. So first of all let us talk about the patients who may need liver transplant, who are suffering from liver disease and may need transplant. So for these patients the liver patients the disease may takes different course. So some may progress very fast and they may need urgent liver transplantation and in some the disease progresses very slowly and you can postpone the transplantation with the medications. So for those patients who need urgent liver transplantation these are the patients with acute liver failure, these are the patients who suddenly develop liver problem. So in these patients we have to take all the precautions and go ahead with the transplant. So for that we have a committee, we do go through all the multidisciplinary discussion and take the action. For those patients where the disease is progressing slowly and medicine is acting and they can postpone the liver transplant for them we advise to continue the medicine and if there is any problem they can either come and see us or we also provide teleconcertation. The hospital has equipped with teleconcertation, they can take the appointment and we have a video concert as well as the telephonic consultation. So now coming to the patients who already had transplant, what are the advices for them? These patients may be wondering if I get infection what do I do and all those things. So before getting the infection first we have to take precautions to avoid to prevent getting infection. For that as you are all seen in the TV and in all the other newspaper and everything the advice is the same for these patients social distancing and avoid all the contacts and stay at home don't go anywhere stay at home and you are safe at home there is nothing more you have to do and you stay at home have homely food keep washing your hands and use the mask always and don't touch your nose or ears or the eyes or the face so keep washing your hands you know maintain the hygiene and in case if these patients have any trouble regarding you know medications or some problems you know any patients post transplant can have some problems we do have you know teleconcertation and they can take the appointment they can call us we can we do give them the advice so for patients requiring any emergency treatment any procedures or treatment the hospital is open 24 7 we are here to serve you and we will take care of you don't worry about that.
