Hi Donna. I think I would feel inclined to your transplant coordinator to let them know about the changes in symptoms. They may want to do an up to date blood test to check his bilirubin levels. Quite a few people do get jaundice as part of having liver disease so it is not unusual and almost everyone I’ve spoken to gets very tired but a chat with the coordinator and they can hopefully put your mind at rest. Good luck.

Thankyou for your response mick

We are on our way to the queen Elizabeth hospital now he will be in hospital for two days but I am a bit worried that they might not think he is well enough to go through his transplant

They will give him a good mot & find out what is causing the main problems always keep positive, I was on the list for 18 month but because of medication & life changes I came off the list a year ago, so sometimes the body does fight back. Good luck for the next few days & going forward
