The goal of the Liver Transplant Clinic is to provide patients with thorough yet timely, cost-effective care both before and after liver transplantation.

The Liver Transplant Program is a multidisciplinary practice within the Transplant Center. A well-developed team approach is used in the Liver Transplant Program to maximize patient care. This team consists of transplantation surgeons, hepatologists, anesthetists, intensivists, pulmonologists, nephrologists, infectious disease physicians, radiologists, transplant nurse coordinators, physicians, social workers, dietitians and secretaries.

Candidates work with a transplant coordinator, who participates in the initial evaluation, gathers medical information and previous test results and manages the patient’s full evaluation, which includes:

• Medical evaluation
• Patient education
• Surgical and psychosocial evaluation
• Transplant-specific testing
