My son is decompensating and getting closer to needing a transplant. Our center does living donor transplants. We were told he would need to be evaluated before they would consider transplanting him. He is stage 4 cirrhosis but still not bad enough that they would transplant him now even with a living donor. Could be your center meant he needs to be evaluated and ready to go on the list. Maybe go back and ask them to be more specific. Best of luck to your Dad. And God Bless you for offering to be his donor. Prayers you are the perfect match!
