Conditions Treated

Some of the common diseases that may lead to transplantation include:

• Acute liver failure
• Biliary atresia
• Cirrhosis
• Hepatitis (viral, autoimmune and idiopapathic)
• Liver tumors
• Metabolic diseases
• Portal hypertension
• Primary biliary cirrhosis
• Primary sclerosing cholangitis

At Stanford Hospital, our liver transplant team closely examines the quality and compatibility of every donor organ to ensure the greatest transplant success. We also provide support and education for patients and their families at each stage of the process.

As you consider liver transplantation, keep in mind that this treatment option is a choice. Receiving a new liver is a precious gift that needs to be treated with much care and respect.
