Liver failure is a serious condition where the liver loses its ability to function properly, affecting processes such as removing toxins from the blood and supporting digestion, that can affect people in different ways, depending on the severity of symptoms and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 10,000 people are living with the condition.
Be aware that the nature of liver failure can affect your ability to get travel insurance or the level of cover available. It is also important that you discuss your condition with a doctor before travelling. They can check that you are fit to fly with liver failure and that your treatment or recovery is on track.
A diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean giving up on travel - with the right preparation and medical advice, many people with liver failure continue to travel safely and enjoy holidays abroad.
How the right policy helps if you have liver failure:
- Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
- Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
- Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
Travel advice for people with a liver condition like liver failure

When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare this type of condition where required. Note that due to the nature of liver failure, this may limit our ability to provide a suitable policy.
Many people with liver failure can still get travel insurance with us. Cover depends on how severe the condition is and how it is being managed, so take care to answer the medical declaration questions honestly and accurately.
