A liver transplant is a life-saving surgical procedure in which a diseased or failing liver is replaced with a healthy liver from a living or deceased donor. India has become a global leader in liver transplantation, offering world-class outcomes at 60–70% less than the cost in the USA or UK — with no years-long waitlist.
India's top transplant centres perform over 2,000 liver transplants annually, with survival rates matching the best programmes in the world.
| Type | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Living Donor (LDLT) | A healthy close relative donates a portion of their liver. Both livers regenerate fully within weeks. | Most common in India. Ideal when a matching relative is available. |
| Cadaveric (Deceased) | Whole liver from a brain-dead donor transplanted into the recipient. | Acute liver failure when no living donor is available. |
| Split Liver | Deceased donor liver split and transplanted into two recipients. | One adult + one paediatric recipient. |
| Paediatric | Specialised transplant for infants and children with biliary atresia, metabolic liver disease or acute failure. | Children and infants only. |
| Auxiliary | Only a portion of the diseased liver is removed; a partial donor liver placed alongside to support regeneration. | When native liver may recover over time. |
A liver transplant is recommended when the liver is damaged beyond repair due to chronic or acute liver failure. Common conditions include:
