Depends how you define "successfully". i.e if you mean "have only had two, and are healthy afterwards, requiring no further liver transplants", as opposed to "have had at least two" (which would include people who may have been quite healthy after the second, but eventually needed a third etc...)
The main difference between male and female livers is in size and metabolism. Generally, male livers are larger and metabolize drugs and alcohol differently due to hormonal influences. However, the basic structure and function of the liver are the same in both genders.

Yes, reducing alcohol consumption can help lower elevated levels of AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase). These liver enzymes are released into the bloodstream when the liver is damaged, commonly due to excessive alcohol intake.

And when having a liver transplant, the gallbladder (both the original and the transplanted) are removed. Nobody with a liver transplant has a gall-bladder.
The principal diagnosis for a patient with end-stage renal failure admitted for a liver transplant with a history of liver transplant failure is end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This condition is critical as it requires the patient to be evaluated and managed for their renal status before proceeding with the liver transplant. The history of liver transplant failure is also significant but serves more as a complicating factor rather than the primary diagnosis in this context.
