WHAT CAN RENEWAL LIVER OFFER YOU
OUTREACH
We will help create a flyer for you to enable you to publicize with those close to you that you need a new liver
TESTING
We will have both the recipient and donor go in for thorough testing to make sure that they are a perfect match.
SUPPORT
After the transplant, we will be available for you to contact if you need any help after the transplant through recovery.
AWARENESS
With your help we can arrange an awareness event to invite close friends and family to come learn about liver donation and if they are interested, we can help them fill out the form and send in a blood sample to see if they can become a potential liver donor.
TRANSPLANT
Once we found your perfect match; whether, they be a friend, or family member, we will be there to support you through the transplant and see that it runs as smoothly as possible.
10,000
There are more than 10,000 adults and children in the United States currently waiting for a new liver.
4
The part of the liver donated, should be fully regrown and fully functional by 4 months since the donation.
5
It can take more than 5 years to receive a deceased liver donor in the United States.
LIVERS GROW BACK
When you become a living liver donor, you are only donating a part of your liver. Livers are able to grow back to its original size and be able to go back to its regular function.
DONORS ARE COVERED
Normally the medical insurance of the liver recipient covers the expenses of the living liver donor including pre-transplant evaluations, surgery, in-hospital recovery, and follow-up care.
TRANSPLANT GOES MORE SMOOTHLY
The transplant process with a living liver donor tends to go more smoothly than that of a deceased donor.
YOU GET TO GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE
By donating your liver, you are saving the life of someone dying of liver failure who otherwise would have to wait on the waiting list which can take years.
