Liver Transplant Complications

There is a risks and complications after any operation. Many issues are minor. But rarely,
some issues can be life-threatening. Treating these as soon as possible is essential. Your
surgeon will talk to people about the possible complications of the operation and general
anesthetic before people sign the consent form to have the operation. The doctors and nurses

see you often to ensure you are recovering well.
After a liver transplant, it is common to have some bleeding for up to 48 hours after the
operation. It is because the liver typically controls blood clotting. The donor's liver is kept
extremely cold while it's moved from the donor hospital to the transplant center. It takes time
for the liver to warm up and work as it should. People can have a blood transfusion if they
lose a lot of blood. People might need more surgery, but this isn't the case for most people.

breaking down fat. The liver makes bile which can store the gallbladder. Small tubes can call
bile ducts that carry the bile and connect to the liver and gallbladder to the small bowel. If
this happens, people might need more surgery or medicine to thin the blood. And if there has
been damage to the new liver, people need another transplant.
