Liver Transplantation Process

Transplantation consists of 4 stages. First stage is evaluation. If you are deemed as the suitable candidate for liver transplantation, you will have 2 options: transplantation from cadaver or living donor. 2nd stage starts once you register in Ministry of Health Turkey Organ and Tissue Information System (TODS) for transplantation from cadaver and continues until compatible organ is found. 3rd stage is the liver transplantation surgery in the event that a compatible organ is found. 4rd stage is post-transplantation immunosuppressive (medication to suppress immunity) treatment and control process.

The process of your evaluation for liver transplantation starts as of you are accepted as a potential receiver for liver transplantation within Hacettepe University Liver Transplantation Program and continues until you are registered into the organ waiting list or you are deemed to be unsuitable for transplantation.
