I hope your call comes soon Muz-ahmed. Sadly the answer to your question is unaswerable. It depends on your severity of condition, your blood type, your body size and what type of liver you are waiting for/deemed suitable for. Some people wait only hours, days, weeks some more into the months or even years. It's a case of being patient, continueing to look after yourself the best you can, keeping yourself as fit and healthy as you can and waiting it out.

The allocation system is now UK wide so whenever a liver is becoming available they will search the list for the patients who most closely match that liver and of those who is most urgently in need. The most poorly folks get their call first.

Best wishes, I do hope your wait isn't too long.

Hi Many thanks for answer and for good wishes for me.

Hi,

Katie has provided a very good answer here on the thread. We would also advise to keep in touch with your transplant coordinator and if you have any questions or concerns to ask them.

Sending you very best wishes.
