After a liver transplant, does a person have high infection rates and lead a very restricted life?
This is not true. Although such persons do have a higher susceptibility to infection than usual, this rapidly diminishes by 3-6 months after transplant when the doses of the immunosuppressive medicine are reduced. So they have to be a little cautious initially, but later, even though the infection rate remains a little higher, this does not interfere with normal daily activities. The infections that do occur can be treated easily in most cases.
