"The success rate of transplants with living donors is higher than with brain-dead donors.' Unlike in western countries where cadaver donor transplantation is predominant, in India there has been a rise of living liver donors". Living donors or liver transplant (LDLT) can save patients with locally advanced liver cancer and acute liver failure though deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT) in not suitable for most patients. LDLT can be done as soon as a family member is found fit to donate a part of the liver, while DDLT requires waiting in India for 6-18 months." Dr. S.K. Sarin, Director, Institution of Liver and Biliary Science, said, "A deceased donor is mostly preferred because of the risks to a living donor. But when the requirement is for, say 2,000 donors, we get just 300-400 deceased donors. But even with non-living donors, there are challenges, often even people aged 35 are obese or consume alcohol in large amounts. More than 60% of the donors are wives or mothers".
As per government rule, the donor has to be a first degree relative of the recipient, that is a husband, wife, brother, sister, father, mother, son or daughter. A healthy living donor can donate up to 60% of the liver, which grows back to normal size in 4-6 weeks.
"In north India, DDLT constitutes 3-4% of transplants, while in South India, it is higher at 10-15 %. Overall, 92% of recipients recover well, said Dr. Neerav Goyal of Apollo Hospitals. "The recipient goes on long term immuno-suppressant medications, usually life-long." Liver transplants do have some risks. "A thrombus may form in the blood vessels during the surgical process. The liver can also be rejected by the patient's body", pointed out Dr. Bhushan Bhole, senior consultant, GI surgery and liver transplantation, PSRI Hospital "A donated organ acts as a foreign organ and the body may not accept it."
Liver failure occurs due to non-alcoholic cirrhosis, alcoholic liver diseases, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. Another factor is acute liver failure in a short time due to Hepatitis A and E drug toxicity due to anti-TB medicines.
Post-transplant care involves regular blood tests and lifelong administration of medicines to prevent transplant rejection. These costs around Rs. 5,000 a month. But despite the need for long-term medication and regular follows ups, liver transplant recipients have an excellent quantity of life and a normal life expectancy. "More than 250 patients I know have lived 15-25 years after transplant, some of the little kids we transplanted have now become doctors, lawyers and sportspersons got married and have children of their own." smiled Arvinder Soin.

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean rows will I have there, and a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace come dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings:
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore:
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

Captain Vs Generals
Pak army doesn't want to take over govt but it doesn't know how post-Imran-arrest protest will pan out
Following Imran Khan's dramatic arrest on Tuesday, Pakistan's 'polycrisis' has not only deepened but also morphed into a systemic question for that country. There can be no doubting that the manner of khan's arrest - it is the paramilitary Rangers that picked him up from the premises of the Islamabad high court was meant to send out a clear message to the former Pakistani PM: that he had crossed a red line by repeatedly pointing fingers at Pakistan's military-security establishment. But Khan has emerged as the most popular Pakistani leader in over a decade. And his refusal to play by the army's hybrid regime playbook has brought Pakistan to an inflection point.
As protests by Khan's PTI supporters spread, the hybrid regime is facing its sternest test. By all accounts the Shehbaz Sharif government wants to delay national polls scheduled for later this year.. It hopes this will take the wind out of Khan's political sails as cases pile up against him-the latest being the indictment in the Toshakhana case. But if the protests sustain, army chief Asim Munir would be forced to make a tough choice either directly step in and take control or put at risk the army's pre-eminent position in Pakistani society. The generals have played the role of Pakistan's stabiliser for decades, notwithstanding messy outcomes.
However, another military takeover would be tricky today's geopolitical climate. Pakistan's salience in international politics has rapidly declined over the last decade, particularly after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. True, china is still a benefactor through its CPEC projects. But that closely tracks Beijing's strategic and mercantilist interests. Therefore, without US backing, a Pakistan under generals would likely be shut out from IMF bailouts its dysfunctional economy needs desperately - forex reserves are still paltry, inflation is climbing and there's widespread general hardship.
Thus, General Munir will try his best to sustain the hybrid regime. He may even choose to allow the protests to continue till calls for more robust intervention arise. But popular movements are unpredictable. While we are not there yet, India should watch out for cracks in the Pakistani military establishment. Pakistan in utter chaos is not good news for India.
