The liver plays a crucial role in your child’s overall health — from metabolism and nutrient absorption to detoxification and energy regulation. When liver disease reaches an advanced stage and medical therapy is no longer sufficient, a Pediatric Liver Transplant offers a new chance at life. This procedure replaces the diseased liver with a healthy one, restoring normal liver function and helping children return to an active, healthy life.
Our team provides comprehensive evaluation, transplant preparation, and long-term post-transplant care with a multidisciplinary approach. With training from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), London, UK, and expertise in Pediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology, we ensure safe, evidence-based, and compassionate care for every child and family navigating this life-changing journey.
A liver transplant is recommended when a child’s liver is permanently damaged or unable to function properly. The procedure replaces the failing liver with a healthy one, often from a living or deceased donor. It’s a highly specialized treatment that demands expert coordination before, during, and after surgery to ensure success.
Most children recover well and go on to live healthy, active lives. Post-transplant care focuses on preventing infection, maintaining immunity, and ensuring the liver functions normally. Regular follow-ups and medication management are key to maintaining long-term success and well-being.
A liver transplant is not just a procedure — it’s a journey of healing and renewal. Our approach combines advanced medical care with empathy, ensuring every child and family feels supported at each stage. Through careful evaluation, surgical excellence, and lifelong follow-up, we aim to give children a future full of energy, health, and happiness.
