 Hi, I am Dr. Ravichan Siddhachari. I am a consultant hepatobiliary and liver transplant surgeon for Manipal Hospital Group, Bangalore. There are confusion about liver transplantation and people have lots of questions. People think that liver transplantation is unsuccessful, which is actually not true because in the past about 20 years ago maybe it was not that successful because at that time it was just evolving. However, in the present condition, the liver transplantation has a success rate of about 90-95%. This again depends on when the patient presents to you. If the patient comes at the right time, you can give a success rate about 90-95%. However, if a patient comes to you very late with multiple infections, hospital admissions or multiple complications leading to kidney failure in these conditions, the success rate declines. And the other thing is that in acute liver failure also, the success rate is not as high as the one you do it for routine liver cirrhosis. In acute liver failure, the success rate again is about 60-70%.
