A public information page for liver patients and caregivers. Not medical advice. Understanding your options is your right.
Your Life • Your Choice
A free public information service for liver patients and caregivers.
Why you're seeing this
This is information many patients and caregivers say they were never clearly given. Liver transplant programs operate differently.
Some transplant programs most often perform liver transplants for patients with higher MELD scores. Patients with lower MELD scores may remain on the waiting list for long or undefined periods, even while experiencing serious, life-limiting symptoms.
