Hepatic Encephalopathy, and Pedal edema. Upon performing medical tests, surgeons came to the conclusion that the patient was suffering from a cryptogenic liver disease called cryptogenic cirrhosis.
Liver function is compromised by a disorder called cryptogenic cirrhosis. Cirrhosis, which results in liver scarring, causes people with this syndrome to acquire the permanent liver disease in their mid to late adult years.
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is believed to play a significant role in cryptogenic cirrhosis, despite the fact that the actual cause is unknown.
Obesity, hyperlipidemia, and metabolic issues like diabetes have all been linked to the emergence of this illness. A liver transplant is a sole choice for treatment if cirrhosis worsens and the liver is badly damaged. This big procedure involves removing the sick liver and replacing it with a donor liver that is healthy.
The patient Manjit Rai Dua, a resident of Delhi, came to know that Kamineni Hospitals in Hyderabad, Telangana, has been successfully performing liver transplant surgeries with ‘Live Donor & Cadaveric Donor’ livers, and a special medical team of ‘Liver Transplant’ specialists from various medical departments has been performing liver transplant surgeries in the most advanced operation theatre.
