Blood Group
Options if you do not have a Blood Group matched Family Donor
You have three options:
- SWAP LIVER TRANSPLANT
- ABO INCOMPATIBLE LIVER TRANSPLANT
- CADAVERIC (DECEASED DONOR) LIVER TRANSPLANT
Swap Liver Transplant Program at Medanta
- In this procedure, we help in legal exchange of donor livers between two families – both with patients who cannot undergo transplant with livers from their own donors. For eg., family 1 has recipient blood group A and donor blood group B. Family 2 has recipient with group B and donor with group A (Rh + or -ve does not matter). All the 4 (2 recipients and 2 donors) of these two families are operated at the same time and the donor livers are exchanged.
- Hence swap transplant is generally possible in 2 situations – if the recipient blood group is A and donor’s is B, or if the recipient blood group is B and donor’s is A.
- Swap is also sometimes possible if the liver from the family donor is too small or too big (volume exchange).
- India’s largest and the among the world’s largest swap liver transplant experience
- India’s largest swap liver transplant patients’ database
- 30 successful swap transplants
