The 36 pages that link to Liver transplantation, each with the reason it gives.

• Organ transplantationBroader topic: The liver can regenerate, enabling transplantation of a donated portion.

• CirrhosisRelated: Transplantation can treat irreversible liver failure caused by advanced cirrhosis.

• Hepatitis BRelated: Advanced HBV-related liver failure or cancer may lead to transplantation, with ongoing recurrence prevention required.

• AscitesRelated: For eligible patients with advanced liver disease, it addresses the cause of persistent ascites.

• Hepatocellular carcinomaRelated: It can remove both the tumor and the underlying cirrhotic liver in selected cases.

• Organ donationBroader topic: A living donor can provide a portion of a liver that can grow in both people.

• HepatotoxicityRelated: Transplantation may be necessary when toxic injury causes irreversible liver failure.

• Hepatitis CRelated: It may be needed when hepatitis C has caused end-stage liver disease.

• Mushroom poisoningRelated: Fulminant liver failure from amatoxin poisoning can require transplantation.

• Wilson's diseaseRelated: It may be needed for severe liver failure and corrects the hepatic copper-handling defect.

• Acetaminophen poisoningRelated: Transplantation may be considered when poisoning causes irreversible acute liver failure.

• Acute liver failureRelated: Transplantation can be the only definitive treatment when native liver recovery is unlikely.

• Cold storage of organsRelated: Liver grafts are commonly stored cold, though prolonged ischemia can impair early function.

• Hepatitis B virusRelated: Advanced HBV-related cirrhosis or liver cancer can make transplantation necessary.

• Primary sclerosing cholangitisRelated: It is an established option for advanced disease and selected serious complications.

• Glycogen storage diseaseRelated: It may be considered for severe liver-predominant disease not controlled by dietary treatment.

• TacrolimusBroader topic: Tacrolimus is used to prevent rejection after liver transplantation.

• Autoimmune hepatitisRelated: It may be needed when autoimmune hepatitis causes acute liver failure or end-stage disease.

• Primary biliary cholangitisRelated: It treats decompensated cirrhosis or otherwise severe disease, though the condition can recur.

• Crigler–Najjar syndromeRelated: It supplies functional bilirubin-conjugating capacity and can cure the metabolic defect.

• Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiencyRelated: It can treat advanced liver disease and supplies donor-derived alpha-1 antitrypsin.

• Hepatitis EBroader topic: Acute liver failure from hepatitis E can require transplantation, though this outcome is uncommon.

• HyperammonemiaRelated: It can correct persistent ammonia-clearance failure in selected severe disorders.

• Maple syrup urine diseaseRelated: A donor liver can provide enough enzyme activity to reduce metabolic crises and dietary restrictions.

• Amanita phalloidesRelated: Transplantation may be considered when death-cap poisoning causes irreversible acute liver failure.

• Hepatitis DRelated: Advanced HDV-related cirrhosis or liver cancer can make transplantation necessary.

• Liver cancerRelated: It can treat selected liver cancers while addressing underlying cirrhosis.

• Thomas StarzlBroader topic: Starzl established liver transplantation as a viable treatment through pioneering operations and clinical programs.

• Alagille syndromeRelated: It may be considered for severe liver disease, but does not correct other organ features.

• Biliary atresiaRelated: It treats advanced liver failure or persistent complications when the Kasai procedure is insufficient.

• Budd–Chiari syndromeRelated: It may be needed when severe disease progresses to liver failure despite other treatment.

• Glycogen storage disease type IRelated: It can correct the hepatic metabolic defect, though kidney disease may remain.

• AcetylcysteineRelated: It may be needed when poisoning causes irreversible liver failure despite antidotal therapy.

• Larry HagmanRelated: Hagman's 1995 transplant brought public attention to his cirrhosis and recovery.

• Caroli diseaseRelated: Diffuse, severe disease or complications may lead to transplantation when other treatment is inadequate.

• Transplants (medicine)Broader topic: A partial liver graft can grow after transplantation.
