Yes, if someone in the family is the same blood group (really crucial), is the same size or bigger than the patient, healthy, willing and over 18 years old. They have to go through many hospital assesments to establish suitablity.
Also, transplants with livers that are "related" genetically to the recipient work best if the recipient does not have an auto-immune liver disease. (If the recipient does have an autoimmune liver disease, genetically related livers are best avoided).
Answer... The liver and spleen are part of the PORTAL system. It appears that you have some degree of liver failure [because you are undergoing liver/spleen dialysis]. The PORTAL system is a separate blood system for the digestive-related organs. You apparently are being treated for kidney failure as well. Did you get into some sort of toxic chemical? Another cause of liver failure is chronic alcohol abuse.
cought part of a liver with hep c be donated is person getting said part did not drink alcahole
It is possible to transplant part of a liver from a living donor and have both donor and recipient survive.
you cannot use a healthy liver to repair a damaged one but the liver is the only organ that can regrow so part of a liver can be transplanted and will grow to a normal size for that person and the donors will also grow back to its original size
Yes, it is possible for living humans to donate a portion of their liver. The liver has the ability to regenerate, so the portion removed from the donor should grow back in both the donor and the recipient. This type of donation is often done for liver transplants to save the life of someone with liver failure.
Yes, it is a part of the cabbage family.
The body system that the liver is a part of is the digestive system. The liver produces bile, which aids in digestion by emulsifying fats.
Yes, part of a living human liver can be transplanted unto another living human - the liver part will grow into a fully functioning liver withing weeks/months.
Unless your liver is diseased or fatty it has tremendous regenerative powers. When a person is a living donor it usually takes about six weeks for the liver to regenerate itself. The biggest danger occurs in the first few weeks. As part of the operation, the hospital makes the stomach non acidic. It can no longer kill the bacteria normally eaten with food. It is extremely dangerous for the donor to eat anything other than sterile food. After six weeks, the donor has a normal liver as if nothing happened. The main difference is the large scar. Hepatitis B is now curable. The new liver will not cure the disease. It will still require treatment.

No; the liver is part of the digestive system
