Living Liver Donor vs the Waitlist
You can stay on the deceased-donor liver list at your center and still look for a living donor here.
The waitlist stays at the center
Listing and organ offers are the program’s job. They do not replace a living-donor search. If you need a living liver donor, you need matching here.
What living liver donation is — in one line
A cleared living donor may give a portion of liver. Anatomy, volume, and risk are decided at the transplant center. This page does not clear anyone.
Matching here
Liver uses the same confidential matching as kidney: confidential matching, both auto-renew until you cancel. Donors never pay.
