Description
Liver transplant surgery replaces a failing liver due to end-stage disease like cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma, with costs in China ranging from ¥500,000 to ¥1,000,000; ChinaMedicalHub assists with hospital coordination and interpreter support.
Main Uses
Liver transplant surgery is primarily used for treating end-stage liver disease, acute liver failure, certain types of liver cancer, and some genetic diseases affecting the liver. It is a life-saving procedure when other treatments fail, aiming to replace a diseased liver with a healthy one from a donor, either deceased or living, depending on the specific case and availability.
Normal Range
Liver transplant surgery does not have a direct 'normal range' as it is a surgical procedure, not a test with numerical results. However, post-surgery, indicators such as liver enzymes (ALT: 7-56 U/L, AST: 10-40 U/L), bilirubin (0.2-1.2 mg/dL), and albumin (3.5-5.0 g/dL) are monitored to assess the new liver's function.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Low values in post-liver transplant tests like ALT, AST, or bilirubin can indicate under-functioning of the transplanted liver, potential biliary obstruction, or issues with blood flow to the liver. It could also be due to successful recovery and stabilization of the liver function, making it essential to consult with a healthcare provider for accurate interpretation.
High Values - Possible Causes
High values in post-liver transplant tests such as elevated ALT, AST, or bilirubin levels may suggest rejection of the transplanted liver, infection, or other complications like ischemia-reperfusion injury, bile duct problems, or medication side effects. Immediate medical attention is usually required to address these issues.
