FAQ
Frequently Ask Questions.
Several factors can increase the risk of liver disease. These include chronic alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis infections (such as hepatitis B and C), obesity, diabetes, certain genetic conditions, exposure to toxins or certain medications, and autoimmune diseases affecting the liver.
The need for long-term medication after liver or pancreas surgery will depend on the specific condition and surgery performed. For example, liver transplant recipients will require lifelong immunosuppressant medications to prevent organ rejection. Other individuals may require medications to manage pain, control blood sugar levels, or address specific underlying conditions.
Acute pancreatitis can often be reversible with prompt medical intervention and appropriate treatment, including supportive care, pain management, intravenous fluids, and temporary avoidance of oral food and drink.
Recovery after liver transplantation involves a hospital stay of about one to two weeks, followed by a period of close monitoring and follow-up care. The patient will need to take immunosuppressant medications for life to prevent organ rejection and will require ongoing medical care and regular check-ups.
