A liver transplant is likely the only solution that may help your mother. It is caused when the liver of a person is quite ill, and that doesn't work properly. Symptoms that a liver is not working properly are the following: patients get worn out, have yellow skin or eyes, and also experience tummy pain. The treatment is costly and involves a lot of expenditures due to its magnitude. The doctor needs to see how much the liver is damaged and if the transplantation has become a necessity.
