What happens if liver cuts if there is damage

Hello Islam Ji,

Kindly specify your exact concern regarding the kidney transplant.

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure where a diseased or failing kidney is replaced with a healthy kidney from a donor. This is often recommended for patients with end-stage kidney disease or severe chronic kidney failure when other treatments, like dialysis, are no longer effective in managing the condition.

Key Points:

1. Before a transplant, patients undergo extensive testing to ensure they are a good candidate. This includes blood tests, imaging, and compatibility matching with potential donors.

2. Types of Donors:

   • Living Donor: A kidney from a healthy, living person (often a relative or close match).
   • Deceased Donor: A kidney from a recently deceased person who opted for organ donation.

3. Procedure: The new kidney is surgically placed in the lower abdomen and connected to the blood vessels and bladder. The diseased kidneys are usually left in place unless there's an infection or other complications.

4. Recovery and Aftercare: Patients typically stay in the hospital for about 10-15 days post-surgery and require close follow-up. Immunosuppressive medications are necessary for life to prevent the body from rejecting the new kidney.

Kidney transplants have a high success rate and greatly improve quality of life, often eliminating the need for dialysis.

Hello Shahejad Ji,

Swelling in the hands and feet, difficulty breathing, and unbalanced diabetes levels are often linked to advanced kidney issues. The kidneys help regulate fluid levels in the body. When kidney function declines, excess fluid can build up, leading to swelling and breathing difficulties.

Given her current symptoms and medical history, it would be best to have her evaluated by a nephrologist or a specialist as soon as possible. She may need further treatment, which could include dialysis to help manage fluid overload and support her kidney function, as well as close monitoring of her blood sugar levels to keep her diabetes in check. If she’s having difficulty breathing, please seek immediate medical attention, as it could indicate fluid accumulation in her lungs.

We’re here to help you find a Nephrology / Urology expert or manage any questions you have about her treatment options.

Hello Ajit Ji,

It's great to hear that your cirrhosis is in a stable and compensated stage, with no active symptoms and normal test results for LFT, PT INR, bilirubin, and creatinine. Complete abstinence from alcohol has likely played a significant role in maintaining this stability. In such cases, ongoing liver health monitoring, a balanced diet, and regular follow-ups with your doctor are crucial to prevent progression.

For further evaluation and personalized advice, it's best to stay in touch with a liver specialist. You can connect with our experts via the HexaHealth app for ongoing guidance.
