Nephrologists are medical professionals who deal with conditions and diseases related to kidney problems. Hepatologists on the contrary focus on treating problems in the pancreases, liver, and related conditions.
3. What are the special interests/procedures that some of these doctors are performing?
MPS Micro Precision Systems AG – is a complex mechanical microsystem which is manufactured by Medtech. The technology is currently available in the UK only. This system uses machine perfusion before the liver transplant. This machine helps maintain the physiological state of the liver, by keeping it warm, by ensuring that the blood keeps pumping in it. This helps in protecting or recovering the liver that might have caused when it was removed from the donor. Reducing damage then results in an increased chance of success of the surgery. It also reduces the risk of organ rejection.
