The Regional Expansion Advanced Learning (REAL) project is an initiative by the ILTS Education Committee to reach out to the regions of Southeast Asia and South Asia and its surrounding regions through education activities. We have gathered much feedback from you through the survey which we have conducted in 2020 and we have successfully organised a few high-quality Webinars for all of you. This year, we look forward to continue engaging our partners in the region!

 

In the upcoming REAL webinar for Southeast Asia and South Asia, two of the most pertinent issues in management of post liver transplant recipients will be addressed, namely post transplant immunosuppression and management of biliary complications. While personalised immunosuppression based on renal function, presence of cancer, and etiology of the chronic liver disease is key, biliary complications continue to be the Achilles heel especially in living donor liver transplantation.

 

Come join us at the ILTS REAL Webinar (For Southeast Asian and South Asian region)!
