How Does Toxicology Influence Liver Transplant Outcomes?
The success of a liver transplant is influenced by numerous factors, including the reason for liver failure. In cases where the liver damage is due to reversible causes, like certain drug overdoses, the outcomes can be quite positive once the offending agent is removed. However, if the liver failure is due to chronic exposure to toxins, the underlying condition must be managed post-transplant to prevent recurrence. This may involve lifestyle changes or avoiding specific chemical exposures.
