The donor&#8217;s liver is restored within 1 month by 80%-90%. The recipient&#8217;s liver reaches 80% within 3 months, liver parameters return to normal within 1 month after surgery.<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" class=\"wp-image-13309\" alt=\"Complications for the donor LDLT\" src=\"https:\/\/medicalavenuekorea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Complications-for-the-donor-LDLT-1.jpg\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medicalavenuekorea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Complications-for-the-donor-LDLT-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/medicalavenuekorea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Complications-for-the-donor-LDLT-1-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medicalavenuekorea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Complications-for-the-donor-LDLT-1-768x644.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" class=\"wp-image-13311\" alt=\"Complications for recipient LDLT\" src=\"https:\/\/medicalavenuekorea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Complications-for-recipient.jpg\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medicalavenuekorea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Complications-for-recipient.jpg 940w, https:\/\/medicalavenuekorea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Complications-for-recipient-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medicalavenuekorea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Complications-for-recipient-768x644.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1645061530924\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I know that my body is rejecting the liver (recipient)? How to treat it?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Unfortunately, if your body rejects the new liver (partial), you won&#8217;t be able to notice until doctors run blood tests. This is because there is no physical pain or noticeable changes. If your body starts rejecting the new liver, doctors will increase the immunosuppressants and might add complementary medical drugs. If organ rejection is not prevented in time, then a second liver transplant may be required. Thus, please take your medications as doctors instruct. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1645061544242\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the diet restrictions and daily life after <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalavenuekorea.com\/en\/liver-transplantation-in-south-korea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">liver transplantation<\/a>?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">After surgery, the biggest threat is infection. Taking immunosuppressants decreases the body&#8217;s ability to fight viruses, thus it is important to avoid infections. Over time, the dosage of immunosuppressants decreases, but it is important to remain cautious and avoid crowded places for a while and other dangerous activities. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1645061704038\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">I feel great, what if I skip taking immunosuppressants?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Taking immunosuppressants after transplantation is as an important stage of treatment as the surgery itself. The difference is that at this stage the responsibility lies on the patient. Immunosuppressants are necessary throughout life after surgery to prevent rejection. The dosage is regulated by the attending physician and eventually decreases to the minimum allowable so that the patient can live a normal life.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"gap: 20px;\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-8b62b0b6-cf5c-4798-b8cf-b2ce7c60f462\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/meetings.hubspot.com\/yekaterina-li\/online-consultation-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ub-button-block-main   ub-button-flex\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #0092a6; --ub-button-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #3c4296; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; border-radius: 10px; \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Consult with our medical coordinators<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-more-questions-on-liver-transplantation-in-korea\">More questions on liver transplantation in Korea:<\/h3>\n\n\n<div style=\"padding-top: var(--wp--preset--spacing--30); padding-left: var(--wp--preset--spacing--30); padding-right: var(--wp--preset--spacing--30); padding-bottom: var(--wp--preset--spacing--30); \" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle wp-block-ub-content-toggle-block\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-block-0fd7228d-bb38-437b-9e74-1710f7eb21c4\" data-mobilecollapse=\"true\" data-desktopcollapse=\"false\" data-preventcollapse=\"false\" data-showonlyone=\"false\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\" style=\"border-color: #0092a6; \" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-block-\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" style=\"background-color: #0092a6;\" aria-controls=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-0-0fd7228d-bb38-437b-9e74-1710f7eb21c4\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title ub-content-toggle-title-0fd7228d-bb38-437b-9e74-1710f7eb21c4\" style=\"color: var(--ast-global-color-5); \">Is it possible to get a consultation in advance and what do I need?<\/p>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-toggle-wrap right\" style=\"color: var(--ast-global-color-5);\"><span class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-state-indicator wp-block-ub-chevron-down open\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-expanded=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-content-wrap\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-0-0fd7228d-bb38-437b-9e74-1710f7eb21c4\">\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You can get the surgeon&#8217;s opinion in advance through a <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalavenuekorea.com\/en\/online-medical-consultations-with-korean-hospitals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video consultation<\/a>.
