Please recommend a hospital for liver disease?
Category: Liver Disease
I am sincerely writing to seek help for my 9-year-old girl.
At 5 years old, she was diagnosed a serious disease of liver. Then successively she received treatments in several leading hospitals of China, yet in vain. The basic cause of her disease has not been found out. Now my daughter is getting worse and even on the verge of death for two times. Our family are in bitter agony. So I am hoping you can offer some practical medical advice or recommend a hospitial for my little girl.
Thank you very much.

Are you looking for a hospital in China or the U.S.? The Thomas Starzl Institute at UPMC in Pittsburgh PA is one of the best hospitals in the world. A lot of children have gone there. They are the pioneers of liver transplants. Thomas Starzl was the first doctor to ever perform a successful liver transplant. The research they do is incredible and he also did a lot in developing the anti rejection drugs that are used throughout the world today which are responsible for the success of transplantation today. He continues to play a big part in research there.
I had my transplant done there and would recommend it for anyone needing one.
