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.
