Jaypee Hospital, Noida performs incompatible liver transplant

As reported by TOI, Dr Abhideep Chaudhary, senior liver transplant surgeon at Jaypee Hospital, said that the doctors' team decided to conduct incompatible liver transplant of the patient. "We used medicines and controlled the patient's anti-bodies generation. We also performed blood washing by immune absorption. The immune suppressive medicines stabilized the patient's body and a surgery was conducted successfully," he said. The surgery was conducted in November and the patient was discharged with advice to continue with immune suppressive medicines in future.

Chaudhary said that till date people usually rely only on matching blood groups or cadaver donors (brain dead) for liver transplant. "It becomes difficult when patients do not find a compatible donor. The sophisticated techniques of incompatible liver transplant gives hopes to save many lives," he said.

Moses Andrews and Anon Andrews on Saturday came to the hospital. He said that he was feeling good and recovering well. "I feel that I have received a new life," Andrews said after a press conference.
