It is important to understand that the donation of any organ is a voluntary act and is absolutely free. Any attempt to purchase or sell human organs is prohibited by law and is a crime in any country of the world. We do not offer organ selling services!
It should be noted that in none of the listed countries it is possible to transplant the liver from a cadaver donor. All transplants are made only from a living relative (in some cases from a close friend of the family).
WHICH FACTORS AFFECT THE COST OF LIVER TRANSPLANTATION SURGERY?
The cost of transplanting the donor’s liver depends on various factors:
Primary diagnosis. Hepatitis, cirrhosis or liver tumor, the complexity of the operation will change along with the cost;
Diagnostic procedures;
The degree of compatibility of the donor and recipient. It depends on this, how many medications will patient need to take. The less compatibility, the more likely the rejection of the transplant. Requiring the use of special drugs – immunosuppressors;
Place of operation. Prices for liver transplantation vary greatly depending on the chosen country and clinic. Thus, liver transplantation in Germany will cost 5 times more expensive than in India;
Qualification of the doctor;
Used technologies. The availability of robotic technologies and laparoscopic equipment increases the cost of a liver transplant operation. However, their use is justified – this significantly reduces operational risks and improves survival.
