Patient's question:
My father has liver cirrhosis and now has ascites. The doctor said to treat it first and consider a liver transplant. I want to ask a few questions: Can I donate a liver to my father? What are the conditions required?Doctor's answer:
This liver transplant is not as simple as you might think; some close relatives cannot purchase it. This requires a prior tissue matching process, and only after successful matching can the purchase be made. It's just that the success rate of tissue matching is higher among close relatives. Moreover, the cost is relatively high, and liver cirrhosis is a disease that is difficult to alleviate. Patient friends should maintain a positive mindset and face it with an optimistic attitude, as only this can boost their confidence in combating liver cirrhosis and believe that recovery is certain.
