LIVER TRANSPLANT REGISTRY

About:

• Initiated by the Liver Transplantation Society of India, the registry aims to collate national data of the procedures and their outcomes.
  
  
• Nearly 2,000 liver transplants are carried out in the country annually, highest in the world, yet there is no India-specific data. This leaves doctors to take help from the evolved U.S. and the U.K. registries.
  
  
• Hospitals from Delhi NCR, Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have voluntarily reported their transplants to the registry. More hospitals are in various stages of signing up and by December.
