Expert Liver Transplant Update – Dr. Chetan Kalal Advancing Liver Transplant Care with Early Detection & Personalized Planning As one of Maharashtra’s leading liver transplant specialists and the state’s first DM Hepatologist, Dr. Chetan Kalal continues to redefine liver transplant care with a sharp focus on early diagnosis, timely referral, and tailored transplant planning. 🔍 What’s New in Liver Transplantation? Shift to Early Evaluation: In line with global transplant trends, Dr. Kalal emphasizes early outpatient liver transplant evaluation—especially for patients with decompensated cirrhosis, rising MELD scores, or recurrent complications. Prioritizing DDLT & LDLT Pathways: With increasing waitlist times, patients are encouraged to explore Living Donor Liver Transplant (LDLT) options early, alongside Deceased Donor Liver Transplant (DDLT) listing. Multidisciplinary Approach: Every patient undergoes a comprehensive transplant workup involving hepatologists, surgeons, nutritionists, psychologists, and transplant coordinators for a seamless, evidence-based care pathway. 📍 Liver Transplant Services with Dr. Kalal Available in: Mumbai Teleconsultation for patients in UAE, UK, and the USA Pan-India transplant referral network for patients from Nagpur, Nashik, Aurangabad, Goa, and beyond ✅ Why Early Referral Matters Delaying transplant referral often leads to emergency admissions, poor surgical fitness, and limited donor options.
