Liver Transplant Registry

  • 21 Oct 2019
  • 1 min read

India’s first voluntary liver transplant registry has been started by the Liver Transplantation Society of India.

  • The registry aims to collate national data of the procedures and their outcomes.
    • Nearly 2,000 liver transplants are carried out in the country annually, the highest in the world, yet there is no India-specific data.
    • In the Western countries, organ transplants are highly regulated and permissions are given to hospitals and doctors based on the outcomes, rate of mortality, morbidity, etc.
    • India has a 90% survival rate in liver transplants, but it may vary from hospital to hospital and doctor to doctor.
