The operation involves taking out the diseased liver and replacing it with a liver of suitable size and blood type. Unfortunately, many patients succumb to liver disease before transplantation can be undertaken. Public awareness of the need for organ donation is an important element in the overall success of liver transplantation. Although progress is being made, much more needs to be done. The Canadian Liver Foundation actively supports and encourages doctors and scientists to pursue research into the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of liver disease.
Research is the key to solving the mysteries of liver disease.
At the same time, the Foundation has expanded its activities, not only to address the needs of patients and their families, but also to promote awareness and a better understanding of liver disease among health professionals and the general public. Take care of your liver by following the guidelines given in this brochure and by learning more about liver health and prevention of disease.
