Liver Transplant Program</strong> is one of the nation's leading liver transplant centers. We helped pioneer techniques that have made transplantation safer and more successful and are at the forefront of research to improve the survival and long-term quality of life for transplant recipients.</p> <p>We know organ transplantation can be a stressful journey. Our patient care navigators will help guide you and your family through the process and connect you with the specialists you need. Together, we provide expert care every step of the way, from diagnosing and managing your child's illness to negotiating the wait for a donor, and from surgery through post-transplantation care.</p> <h2>Expertise</h2> <p>Our center is one of the longest-running liver transplant programs in the U.S. We've performed more than 4,500 liver transplants in adults and children, with survival rates that are among the country's best.</p> <p>We were among the first in the nation to perform liver transplants using live donors and now have one of the largest such programs in the country — earning us a center of excellence designation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.</p> <p>The center's multidisciplinary team of experts includes transplant surgeons, gastroenterologists, hepatologists, infectious disease physicians, anesthesiologists and pharmacologists, as well as nurses, social workers and other support staff. With more than half of our transplant patients under the age of 2, we are experienced with the youngest of patients.</p> <div class="continue-reading"><span class="read-more btn btn-drawer"><a>Continue Reading </a></span><div> <h2>Wait times</h2> <p>Our team advocates for patients and their families in partnership with national and international transplant organizations, providing education and support throughout the wait for a new liver.</p> <p>When possible, we use techniques that enable children to receive transplants more quickly and safely than at other institutions, such as split-liver transplants (dividing a donor liver between two recipients) and living donor transplants. This not only reduces the wait time for a liver, but also increases the chances that the transplant will succeed. <br /> As a result, our patients spend less time waiting for a new liver and enjoy higher survival rates while on the waitlist than the national averages. Using a living donor also improves the chances that the transplant will succeed.</p> <h2>Survival and outcomes</h2> <p>Our survival rates are consistently among the highest in the country, even though we treat some of the most seriously ill patients. Children who receive a conventional liver transplant (from a deceased donor) at UCSF have a survival rate of 95 percent one year after transplant and 92 percent three years after transplant.</p> <p>The rates are even higher in those who receive livers from living donors, with a 100 percent survival rate for both patients and the transplanted livers three years after transplantation. Our program also has one of the lowest retransplantation rates (the percentage of patients who need a second transplant) in the country.</p> <p>*More outcome data is available from the <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.srtr.org/transplant-centers/interactive-report?center=CAMB&type=TX1&organ=li" target="_blank">Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients</a> and from the <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://optn.transplant.hrsa.gov/data/view-data-reports/center-data/" target="_blank">Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network</a>.</p> <h2>Post-transplant care</h2> <p>Our care doesn't end with surgical recovery. With expertise in managing the immune-suppressing medications patients take after transplant (to prevent the body from rejecting the new liver), we work to minimize or even eliminate the need for these drugs over the long term.</p> <p>We monitor both the function of the transplanted liver and our patients' overall growth and development throughout their childhood and into early adulthood.</p> <h2>Clinical trials and research</h2> <p>The UCSF pediatric liver transplant team leads numerous clinical trials and other research projects that aim to improve the care, long-term health and quality of life for children with chronic liver conditions, including those receiving liver transplants.
