Liver Transplant
Liver Transplant in Iran

What is Liver Transplant?
A liver transplant is a surgical procedure that removes a liver that no longer functions properly and replaces it with a healthy liver from a donor.
Who is a good candidate?
A liver transplant is a treatment option for people who have significant complications due to end-stage chronic liver disease. In rare cases, sudden failure of a previously normal liver causes the need for an emergency transplant.
How long is the hospital stay after a liver transplant?
After the donation, patients will be in the intensive care unit for two days. After that, they are in the regular part of the hospital for about ten days to two weeks. They then go home, however, the healing process may last for 3 months.
Before surgery
Before the transplant, some special tests are required to take including physical exam, Psychological evaluation, medical history, tests on heart, lung, and other organs by CT scans and sonography, blood tests to recognize HIV, hepatitis, alcohol, and drug screening and level of creatinine.
If the transplant team approves you as a proper candidate for transplant, you are placed on a waiting list for the deceased donors. Fortunately, the waiting time for transplants in Iran is not that much, and for foreign patients, there is no need to wait for that long time.

Why Iran?
Liver transplant in Iran began over 20 years ago at the Shiraz Organ Transplantation Center in Namazi hospital. Today, the center has performed over 3000 liver transplants with a high success rate. Iran’s second transplant center is Imam Khomeini Hospital in Iran’s capital, Tehran. During these 20 years, more than 4500 transplants were done at 6 centers in Iran with a success rate of more than 85%. According to the statistics of the national organ transplant organization, more than 10% of liver donations all over the world are rejected in the first stages, although this statistic for Iran liver transplant is amazingly less than 8%.
How much does liver transplant cost in Iran compare to other countries?

According to the United Network for Organ Sharing, the estimated U.S. average cost for a liver donation is more than 500,000 $ which is high and because of that a lot of patients passed away without affording to do the liver transplant.
