Dr Chetan Kalal

Liver Transplant Medicine & Advanced Liver Failure Strategy

Specialist in Decompensated Cirrhosis, ACLF & Living Donor Transplant

Mumbai, India | International Consultations

When liver failure progresses, hesitation costs survival.

Dr Chetan Kalal provides transplant-focused hepatology leadership for patients with advanced cirrhosis, acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), and complex liver disorders requiring structured transplant evaluation.

This is not routine liver care.
This is survival-stage decision medicine.

Transplant-Centric Clinical Expertise

• MELD-Based Transplant Timing & Risk Stratification
• Living Donor Liver Transplant Evaluation
• ACLF Stabilization & Transplant Window Identification
• ICU-Level Hepatology Oversight
• Recurrent Decompensation Management
• Post-Transplant Graft & Immunosuppression Monitoring

Every decision is framed around mortality risk and transplant readiness.

Who Should Seek Immediate Evaluation

• MELD ≥15–18

• Recurrent ascites or variceal bleeding

• Worsening jaundice

• ACLF episode

• Hepatorenal syndrome

• Sarcopenia with decompensation

• Transplant denial without clear explanation

Late referral reduces survival probability.
Early evaluation expands options.

Structured Transplant Pathway

1. Pre-Transplant Risk Assessment

Comprehensive staging, imaging review, frailty assessment, infection screening, and transplant eligibility discussion.

2. Living Donor Feasibility Review

Parallel donor-recipient evaluation with defined safety thresholds.

3. ICU & Organ Failure Strategy

Dynamic reassessment of transplant window in unstable patients.

4. Post-Transplant Continuity Plan

Long-term immunosuppression strategy and graft surveillance.

Transplant is a pathway — not an event.
