The Liver Disease and Transplantation Program at Northwestern Memorial Hospital offers a complete range of medical and surgical interventions to treat patients with complex liver disorders including liver disease management, end-stage disease treatment and liver transplantation. Treatment of complex liver disorders requires the skill and experience of a dedicated team of professionals.

Why Northwestern Memorial

Of the more than 120 liver transplant programs in the United States, Northwestern Memorial's Kovler Organ Transplantation Center ranks in the top 10 percent of all programs in the number of liver transplants performed. We have been recognized for our success with new immunosuppressive agents that help reduce post-transplant complications. We are one of the few hospitals in the midwest to perform laparoscopic resections of liver tumors and laparoscopic procedures in patients with cirrhosis. And we are the only hospital in Chicago with a dedicated Comprehensive Liver Cancer Clinic .
