liver donor risk assessment

Liver donor risk assessment evaluates whether a person’s liver is healthy enough to donate without risking their own health. Factors considered include age, overall health, medical history, liver function tests, and screening for infections or diseases. Imaging scans assess the liver’s anatomy, while blood tests check for hidden issues. The goal is to ensure the donor's safety and that the donated liver will effectively support the recipient’s needs. Proper assessment minimizes risks for both donor and recipient, ensuring a successful transplant outcome.
