Liver transplant surgery is a life-saving procedure required when a person’s liver can no longer function properly due to chronic conditions like cirrhosis, hepatitis B or C, fatty liver disease, or liver cancer. These diseases gradually damage the liver, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin), abdominal and leg swelling, confusion, and bleeding problems. In the advanced stages, a liver transplant may become the only option for survival when medical treatments alone no longer suffice. Historically, patients in cities like Moradabad had limited access to such specialized care and often had to travel to metro cities for liver transplants, incurring substantial financial and emotional burdens.
