Despite the increase in liver transplants, conditions like chronic liver disease led to nearly 55,000 deaths in 2022, highlighting urgent health disparities.
Living donors have become crucial in addressing the organ shortage crisis, given that livers can regenerate after partial removal, enabling life-saving transplants.
The medical community is actively investigating cellular differences in cirrhotic livers to enhance understanding and treatment options for patients awaiting transplants.
