More information about being a Living Liver Donor
Being a living liver donor means donating a part of your liver to a recipient whose liver doesn’t work the way it should. A living donor liver transplant (LDLT) removes part of the donor’s liver for transplant and leaves the rest in the donor’s body.
Most liver patients are on a long wait list for whole livers from donors who have died (deceased donors). There aren’t enough deceased donor livers, so each year almost 1 in 5 patients (about 18%) on the waitlist dies or gets too sick for a liver transplant.
