Liver Transplantation Evaluation & Management in North Houston, Humble & The Woodlands

Liver transplantation is a life-saving option for patients with end-stage liver disease, liver cancer, or acute liver failure. At DLDC, we specialize in the evaluation, referral, and post-transplant care of patients in need of a liver transplant.

Our expert hepatologists work closely with transplant centers to provide comprehensive pre-transplant assessments, including lab tests, imaging, and liver biopsies, while helping patients understand their candidacy and preparing them for the transplant process.
