Hi Anonymous, Thanks for writing. Many factors can contribute to the success of a liver transplant including the return of the condition that prompted the transplant, blood vessels blockage going into or out of the liver, the health of tubes that carry bile into the intestine, lifestyle, autoimmune issues and more. The good news, according the National Digestive Diseases information center, a division of the U.S. government, liver transplants usually work.
"About 80 to 90 percent of transplanted livers are still working after 1 year. If the new liver does not work or if your body rejects it, your doctor and the transplant team will decide whether another transplant is possible."
Did you recently have a transplant? Can you share with us the reasons for the transplant?
For more information, you may want to visit from EmpowHer.com's encyclopedia. It has amazing information on what to expect following a transplant as well as what to watch out for post-op.
