What is the survival rate after liver transplant in India?

At experienced centres in India, 1-year graft and patient survival exceeds 85–90%. Five-year survival is approximately 75–80%. Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu's programme aims for outcomes consistent with international benchmarks through rigorous patient selection and perioperative care.

What factors affect survival after liver transplant?

Key factors include MELD score at transplant (lower MELD → better outcomes), donor quality (age, steatosis grade), cold ischaemia time, recipient fitness, immunosuppression adherence, and early detection and treatment of rejection or complications.

How does quality of life change after liver transplant?

Most patients report significant improvement in quality of life within 3–6 months of transplant. Physical function, mental health, and social participation improve substantially. Long-term recipients can work, travel, exercise, and lead active, productive lives.

What long-term complications can occur after liver transplant?

Long-term risks include chronic rejection, biliary complications, metabolic syndrome (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia from immunosuppressants), de novo malignancy (especially skin cancer), and recurrence of primary disease (e.g. viral hepatitis, HCC). Structured annual review mitigates these risks.
