Live donation

[Clarecare]

Hi, I was wondering does anyone know of going private to donate part of liver from adult to baby. Any information would be appreciated.

If this was to be for someone you know it is all done through the NHS in Britain - there is no private route to liver transplant in the UK. If it's an altruistic donation for a stranger then you can read about it and fill in a form at organdonation.nhs.uk/become...

Yes we are in UK she is already on transplant list and we were doing the living relation donation but covid has stopped it for a second time. So was wondering if there was anywhere in UK or Europe that does private transplants from adult to baby. As I could only find adult to adult.

That's really sad, poor wee thing. All transplants in the UK are through the NHS (as far as I am aware). Have you contacted the Children's Liver Disease Foundation as they have more knowledge of the whole childhood liver disease situation - the BLT is largely/only adult related. The CLDF may know more about the whole childhood transplant situation. childliverdisease.org/

I hope a donor is found for the little one.
