Liver Transplant

[swimstroke]

According to a relative's doctor, kailangan na niya ng liver transplant. Hindi pa naman nakakukuha ng 2nd opinion, pero mabuti ng makakuha ng inputs habang maaga. Anyway, baka may mga kakilala kayong dumaan na sa ganitong proseso? Baka may idea kayo kung sinong doctor ang humawak, magkano, saang hospital at kumusta ang outcome?

May nagsabi samin na sa China ipagawa, mas madali kasing humanap ng donor dun. Year 2000 ~$35,000, nakipatanong na kami kung magkano sa ngayon.

Many thanks.

i think sa Taiwan ang may malaking success rate sa mga liver transplants. and nasa USD30-40K nga ang gastos.

You can inquire and have a second opinion to IM-Gastro doctor.
We have a Center for Liver Diseases here at St. Luke's Med. Center.


*oldblue: liver failure comes from fatty liver to Hepa A or B,
to cirrhosis (a chronic disease, esp of alcoholics) and worst cancer.

Liver Transplant?

I've read that South Africa pioneered this kind of operation.
