Abstract
Patients with chronic end-stage liver disease present a significant problem in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The liver transplant program was started in December 2011 and for May 2015, more than 80 liver transplant operations have been performed in 7 different hospitals of the country. The main problem that hinders the wide implementation of liver transplant in our country is poor development of regularity of deceased-organ donation system. This is because of the specific mentality of the population and imperfect legislation. From 26 operated recipients, 19 lead a normal life (73.1%), receiving a minimal immunosuppressive therapy. In patients with cirrhosis of viral cause, there are no cases of viral hepatitis reinfection. Preliminary findings based on a small experience showed a good perceptiveness of developing of Liver Transplant program in Kazakhstan.
