Liver transplant

As both a national and regional pioneer in transplant care, Penn Medicine has completed over 4,000 liver transplants, including complex multiple organ procedures such as liver-kidney transplant or liver-lung transplant. We perform more liver transplants annually than any other center in the region, and twice as many living donor liver transplants as our closest competitor, ensuring our patients benefit from the deepest expertise and most consistent outcomes.

At Penn Medicine, we understand the life-changing impact of receiving a new liver because we’ve taken hundreds of families through this transplant journey. Our team is here to guide you through the organ waiting list process and provide the medical care you need for every step of liver transplant and recovery.

We perform liver transplants at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) in Philadelphia. We also offer liver transplant evaluations at several of our locations across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.

Our liver transplant team also includes active researchers. We’re conducting a range of innovative clinical trials focused on improving liver transplant outcomes, including studies on new immunosuppressive therapies and organ preservation techniques.

Our trials for liver transplant aim to enhance patient recovery, reduce transplant rejection rates, and expand the pool of eligible donor organs. Participation in research can give you access to new treatments and techniques before they’re widely available.
