What is the treatment for liver disease?
Treatment options for liver disease will depend upon your health condition. Sometimes liver disease may best be treated by medical interventions. Severe liver disease may require medical and surgical intervention. For example, you may benefit from surgical intervention such as a shunt procedure. If you are a candidate for liver transplantation, the physicians (hepatologist/transplant surgeon) will conduct a thorough medical evaluation to determine if a cadaveric liver transplant or a living related liver donor transplant is the best option for you. During the evaluation, we carefully look at your overall medical condition and we make sure that you meet specific criteria. Your physicians will always discuss your condition and options with you and your family so together we can decide what will benefit you the most. It is a team effort.
