There are several reasons for which surgeons or doctors can stop or deny your liver transplant.
Active Alcohol/ Drug use:
Those who drink alcohol daily or use drugs are not allowed for a liver transplant due to many reasons. Alcohol and drugs are sometimes the main reasons for liver diseases. Generally, the wait for the liver transplant is 6 months, and doctors ask their patients to resist alcohol or drug use.
Cancer
Sometimes, doctors don't go for a liver transplant because patients develop liver cancer inside the liver and also to its surroundings, Which makes it difficult for doctors because it can be life-threatening.
Poor health
Before going for a liver transplant, doctors take full body checkup so that they can know if you are ready or healthy enough for the transplantation. If you pass it, then you will be applicable for the liver transplant, but if not, then doctors will advise you to maintain your health and then apply for a liver transplant.
No support
Many patients live independently, who don't have family or settled far away from family, in short, who doesn't have a caretaker. After the liver transplant surgery, the patient needs a lot of attention like proper medication, health checkups. It can cause side-effects if you don't follow routine medications.
