Enfoque de Mayo Clinic

• Your Mayo Clinic care team. At Mayo Clinic, a multidisciplinary team of specialists work together to evaluate and treat each individual. With 13 specialty groups and more than 140 digestive disease specialists on staff, the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Mayo Clinic is one of the largest and most experienced in the world.
• Advanced diagnosis and treatment. Precise diagnosis and staging of cirrhosis is important to guiding treatment. Mayo Clinic researchers invented magnetic resonance elastography, a noninvasive test that maps stiffness of the liver. This state-of-the-art imaging helps Mayo specialists find liver disease early, giving people the opportunity to start treatment sooner and helping improve outcomes. People being treated at Mayo Clinic also are among the first to benefit from new findings made at Mayo.
• Care focused on you. Mayo Clinic doctors work with you to determine what strategies for prevention best meet your needs and preferences. If you need a liver transplant, a team of Mayo Clinic surgeons, doctors, transplant nurses, pharmacists, social workers and other health professionals take care of you before, during and after transplant. They provide quality care focused on the needs of you and your family.

Your doctor also may help determine whether you might be eligible for a clinical trial or study that's being conducted for people with end-stage liver disease.

Experiencia y clasificación

Innovation and research

The liver transplant teams in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota are leaders and innovators in heart-liver transplants, transplants for people with liver cancer and use of antirejection medicines that help ensure positive outcomes. People with challenging health situations come to Mayo Clinic for help because Mayo doctors and surgeons are experts in specialized liver transplant options, including living-donor liver transplant.

Transplant expertise

The Mayo Clinic Transplant Center supports many studies for liver transplant research. For example, Mayo Clinic researchers are developing a bioartificial liver that could help patients cope as they await a donor liver. Liver transplant outcomes at Mayo Clinic compare favorably with the national average.
