If your child is on the liver transplant waiting list, finding a living donor may help them receive a liver sooner.
At UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, we work to teach people about living donor transplant and provide resources and support to help families find a donor.
We've been at the forefront of children's organ transplantation for more than 40 years and are here to help you find answers, receive care, and feel supported through your child's living-donor liver transplant.
For questions about living-donor liver transplant, call 412-692-6110 or email livertransplant@chp.edu.
During a living-donor liver transplant, surgeons remove 20% to 25% of the liver from a healthy adult. They then transplant that part of the liver into the child to replace their unhealthy one.
The reason we can do living-donor liver transplants is because of the liver's unique ability to grow back. In just a few months, a healthy adult donor's liver will return to its normal size.
UPMC is home to one of the oldest and largest liver transplant programs in the U.S. Our team provides medical, emotional, financial, social, and educational support throughout your child's journey.
This team approach to care means we're all aware of your child's unique needs.
Living-donor liver transplant is a life-saving treatment for children with liver disease.
It also makes more deceased-donor livers available for people on the transplant waiting list.
