How long can biliary atresia live after liver transplantation

First of all, liver transplantation is mainly for patients with end-stage liver disease caused by various reasons and expected to survive for less than half a year, such as liver cirrhosis, chronic severe liver disease, liver cancer, biliary atresia (common in children) and liver diseases caused by congenital metabolic diseases, of which liver cancer accounts for about 40% of the operation. Liver disease is now a big killer of people's lives. If you don't pay attention to diet in your life, you are easy to suffer from liver disease.

Secondly, liver disease is generally divided into benign liver disease and malignant liver disease. The so-called benign liver disease refers to liver diseases other than tumors, such as liver cirrhosis and chronic severe liver disease. After liver transplantation, the survival rate of patients with benign liver disease is very high, and there is basically no recurrence problem. Malignant liver disease, namely liver cancer, has two kinds of situations. According to the size of tumor, the diameter is less than 5 cm, or the number of multiple tumors is less than 3, and the sum of the three diameters is less than 5 cm For early liver cancer or small liver cancer; diameter greater than 5 cm or more than 3, and the sum of diameter greater than 5 cm for another category, known as advanced liver cancer.

Finally, surgery is not recommended for advanced liver cancer. Because of the shortage of liver donors, hospitals in foreign countries generally do not treat patients with advanced liver cancer. In our country, there is no such problem, but for this part of patients, hospitals also recommend not to do surgery. There are two reasons: first, the cost of surgery is very expensive. Usually, an operation alone costs about 200000 yuan, not including the cost of postoperative medicine and nursing, which is not affordable by every family; and the more important reason is that even if an operation is performed, it can only prolong the life of the patient for one to two years, and it can not play a substantial role in prolonging life Even if you don't have surgery, you can live 5-6 months. The 1-year survival rate was 85-98%, 2-year survival rate was 88%, 3-year survival rate was 86-88%, 5-year survival rate was 83-98%, 10-year survival rate was 81-85.8%.

matters needing attention

We should pay attention to diet. Patients with liver transplantation are mainly high in vitamin, low in sugar, low in fat and moderate in high quality protein. Eat less and eat more, with soft and easy to digest, less fiber, less stimulating soft food or semi liquid diet. Don't drink and smoke, keep in a good mood, and eat some fresh fruits and vegetables, don't eat some rotten food.
