Stanford's Liver Transplant Program cares for people with advanced stage liver disease from all over the U.S., consistently achieving outstanding results as one of the nation's top programs. Our team has performed more than 1,400 adult liver transplants, exceeding national patient and liver survival rates at the one- and three-year marks after transplantation.
With minimally invasive laparoscopy, Karen Gilmer Pon donated a small segment of her liver to her son and was well enough to visit by his bedside the day after surgery.
An updated scoring system developed by Stanford Medicine researchers will more accurately prioritize patients on the liver transplant waiting list based on medical urgency.
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.
Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
Your doctor will request an evaluation by one of Stanford's transplant specialists, who will review your previous medical records and determine if additional tests are necessary. Patients undergoing initial evaluation, medical follow-up before transplant, and post-transplant follow-up, both early and late, are seen in the liver transplant clinic.
