Patient's question:
My second cousin has been smoking and drinking beer for a long time, and his liver has already had problems before. He never avoids food, and his condition has worsened in the past two days. It's said he needs to find a liver donor for a transplant. It sounds like a major surgery, and we are all quite worried about him. Hello, what are the complications of liver transplantation?Doctor's answer:
For the complications of liver transplantation, the most common and primary one is acute liver failure. This is mainly due to recurrent rejection reactions after liver transplantation, which in turn lead to the aforementioned symptoms. Additionally, apart from many other complications, such as persistent damage to liver function, there can also be recurrent non-healing wounds, as well as postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions causing severe intestinal obstruction, and so on.
