transplant on livers what needs to be done before getting on list?


Question:


Answers:
For any organ transplant, you need to be evaluated at a hospital that does that kind of transplant. The hospital will require that your doctor contact them, and provide prior medical records. After performing various tests, the doctors will decide whether you should be on the transplant list. Part of the decision is based on your overall health, e.g., lung transplants are best when the patient has nothing else major wrong with them, such as heart disease. It's possible that the heart wouldn't be able to withstand the surgery.
