Hi Awinash,
If the residual liver function is just 20% then replacement by way of transplantation is the only option. Delhi is the place where the success rate of transplantation especially with the liver is the best. So I would suggest you first consult Dr Soin from Medanta Liver clinic in Delhi and see what he has to say. then take a decision.
