Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor.  I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. It is hard to predict the success rate and costs for such procedure, but this is enormously high price, and you can't pay it alone since it exceeds 80 000 dollars. It should be available to provide liver transplantation for free since this is surgery that saves life of patients. Success dates depend on type of liver failure. In case of malignant tumors, such rates are low but if cirrhosis is of other origin then 5 year survival ranges from 20-30%. I think you should consult local health system and ask about possibilities. It can be transplant from the cadaver or form the liver donor. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
