Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Bhutan Patients

At Dr. Punit Singla’s Liver Transplant Program, we understand that planning a liver transplant abroad can feel overwhelming. To help you, we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions international patients—especially those from Bhutan—ask before traveling to India.

A liver transplant is a surgery where a diseased liver is replaced with a healthy donor liver. It is needed in cases of cirrhosis, liver cancer, or acute liver failure when medicines no longer work.

Patients with end-stage liver disease, acute liver failure, or certain liver cancers may qualify. A complete medical evaluation helps confirm eligibility.

  • Living Donor Liver Transplant (LDLT): A portion of liver from a healthy relative is transplanted.
  • Deceased Donor Liver Transplant (DDLT): A whole liver is taken from a brain-dead donor.

Before planning a liver transplant, several tests and scans are needed to assess the patient’s liver function, overall health, and readiness for surgery. These include:

Blood Tests

  • CBC (Complete Blood Count): To check overall health and detect anemia or infection.
  • LFT (Liver Function Test): To measure how well the liver is working.
  • Autoimmune Markers: To rule out autoimmune-related liver disease.
  • Viral Markers (HBsAg, HCV Ab): To check for Hepatitis B & C infections.
  • Lipid Profile: To assess cholesterol and fat levels in the blood.
  • Thyroid Profile: To check thyroid function, as it affects metabolism and recovery.
  • HbA1c: To measure average blood sugar levels and screen for diabetes.

Imaging & Scans

  • Ultrasound Abdomen: To visualize the liver, bile ducts, and surrounding organs.
  • FibroScan: To assess the degree of liver stiffness (fibrosis or cirrhosis).

Tumor-Specific Tests (if liver tumor is suspected or confirmed)

  • CT Triphasic Scan: A detailed scan to evaluate liver tumors.
  • AFP (Alpha-fetoprotein): A tumor marker for liver cancer.
  • PIVKA II: Another blood marker used to assess liver tumors.
