The evaluation for transplant includes meeting members of our team and undergoing a number of tests. The tests determine how damaged the liver is and whether there are heart, kidney or lung problems that may preclude liver transplant. Patients are also evaluated for psychosocial problems that may interfere with their ability to manage the stresses of transplantation.
