Liver Transplantation

Liver Transplantation, Part Four: Taking Care of Your New Liver is a guide on how to take care of a new liver after transplantation. Using an analogy that compares a body to a castle, and your immune system to knights that defend that castle, readers will learn about very important topics like immunosuppression medicines, 'rejection', and infection. Readers will also learn about the importance of regular check-ins with doctors to examine recovery and ensure the new liver is functioning properly. This book is the fourth in a series on Liver Transplantation which, when used together, guides readers through the entire experience of having a liver transplant. Written in easy to understand language with vibrant illustrations, the book is comprehensive, as well as fun, comforting and hopeful. This informative and enjoyable book is part of the series The Strength of My Scars, written and illustrated by surgeon, Maria Baimas-George.
