Before an allograft is attempted, the ABO blood group system and other blood group antigens of donor and recipient must be determined, because these antigens are also present on most body cells. the recipient and donor tissues are typed to determine their major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen match. MHC variation among human tissues is tremendous, so matching for all MHC antigens is impossible. The closer the match the less likely the transplant will be rejected. (Marieb 793)

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.

Is a liver biopsy often done several weeks after a transplant?
In most UK liver transplant centres, it is not considered "routine" practice to do a liver biopsy several weeks after transplant if the patient has a normal liver function. However some centres will offer a liver biopsy at 3 year, 5 year and/or 10 year intervals, regardless of how good the liver function happens to be. Within several weeks of transplant the possibility of liver rejection is highest, so if rejection is even at all to be suspected of occurring a biopsy will be taken pretty swiftly.

However, longterm use of alcohol can cause a permanent strain on the liver, causing lots of damage.
