What else can I help you with?
What is the average life expectancy for someone who is a liver transplant recipient?
Don't worry about the quantity of years; instead focus on your quality of life and living the best life for you that you can since it is not known the exact average life expectancy for someone who is a liver transplant recipient.
How much liver is required for liver transplant?
Enough to keep the recipient alive and hopefully healthy, so it's around 90-110% of the size of the recipient's original liver that is required. (You can survive with only 5% of your liver working, but obviously the liver transplant recipient wants to live, not merely survive (since you can "survive" whist being quite ill). If a liver becomes available, it would be silly not to transplant as much of it as possible to meet the size of the original, since this speeds up recovery time post-transplant - i.e the liver does not need lots of time to regenerate, since it's already the correct size).
How is it possible for a person to be a living donor for a liver transplantation?
It is possible to transplant part of a liver from a living donor and have both donor and recipient survive.
Can you transplant an entire liver?
It depends. There are 2 sections of the liver that can be used for donation, the left lobe (40% of the liver) and the right lobe (60%). In a cadaver/deceased donor the doctors will usually give an adult transplant patient the whole liver. There have been cases where the left lobe, the smaller side, of a cadaver donor has been given to a child recipient and the right lobe went to an adult. There is also the case of living liver donation where a living person donates a section of their liver to a recipient. If the recipient is a child then the left lobe is donated, if the recipient is an adult it is the right lobe that is donated. For the living donor, their donated section of liver will grow back in about 3-8 weeks.
Does a child with a genetic liver disease deserve a liver transplant more than a 60 year old alcoholic?
No, neither is entitled to a liver transplant by way of their status. It's by the generosity of the donor who died that one be available, and if the liver has been donated by typical means, then it's left up to a bureaucracy to decide the recipient on behalf of the donor.

As soon as the kidney is inside the recipient, the donor has no legal claim to it. I think this will also apply to living donor liver transplants.
