What are the biggest challenges in organ transplantation?
I have a question about the episode #150-Senator Bill Frist, MD: A modern Renaissance man's journey through science, politics & business and the clip Medical Breakthroughs. I would love to hear your thoughts on liver transplants, specifically in the case of my daughter who had a liver transplant 11 years ago due to biliary atresia and has been doing amazingly well since then—without any issues or rejections. Her doctors call her the poster child for liver transplants, and her labs are all perfect. The only medication she is on is an anti-rejection medication, tacrolimus.
