The cost of a liver transplant in Spain typically ranges from $120,000 to $200,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, surgeon’s experience, complexity of the case, and whether the transplant is from a living or deceased donor. In the United States, the average cost is $750,000 (per UNOS). That means a liver transplant in Spain can cost about 79% less than in the U.S.
In Spain, the price usually covers pre-op evaluation, surgery, anesthesia, the hospital stay, ICU care, immunosuppressive medications during hospitalization, and standard follow-up visits. In the U.S., many of these services—such as post-op care, medications, and intensive care—are often billed separately. Always confirm with your chosen clinic what’s included in the quoted price.
