Who can donate a liver?
In order to give a piece of your liver as a living donor, you must be at least 18 years old with few to no medical problems. As a potential donor, you will need to undergo a series of tests to ensure that it is safe for you to donate and that the portion of your liver will be able to help the potential recipient. Unlike some kidney donors, a liver donor must be a friend or relative with a long-standing emotional connection to the potential recipient.
