My uncle's liver is gone and they want give him a transplant What is going to happen?

He will go on a waiting list for a cadaver donor liver. He will get the transplant and live for his expected life-span. If no cadaver liver donor is available, they will treat him symptomatically and try to find a living donor among relatives who are compatible. If none is found, his long-term prognosis is not good. Half a liver from a living donor will regenerate and both the donor and the recipient will have an entire liver after a few months.

Do you have to wait until you are on a liver transplant list to get a living donor liver transplant?

Part of the reason for being placed on a "transplant list" is to wait until a matching donor is found. At that point, the donor is an unknown, only a possibility. However, if you can find a willing person and if the test results match compatibility with your tissues and blood type, then the "waiting list" is not needed. Your next obstacle would be to have insurance willing to pay. With all of those factors met, you'd have the transplant.

To clarify, the "waiting" part of the concept of a "waiting list" refers to "waiting for a donor", not "waiting until everyone who was here before me to be transplanted". Everyonerequiring a transplant is placed on the waiting list, since they are all waiting for donors (unless they use a living donor).Everyone who requires a transplant (of whatever organ) is on essentially the same waiting list - that way if a donor comes up who matches more than one person (i.e one match for a liver, one for a kidney, one for lungs) it's easy to identify who requires what.
