Common questions
Who can donate part of their liver?
Usually a close relative of a compatible blood group, in good health. The hospital tests the donor in detail first.
How long is the recovery?
Plan for six to eight weeks near the hospital. Ask for the full plan in writing.
What should I ask hospitals?
Ask how many liver transplants they do each year, what the quote includes, and what happens to the cost if there are complications.
