Liver transplant - Let's support each other

His MELD is currently 17. We are searching for a living liver donor for him. He has PSC and like many other PSC patients, living donation is the best solution. PSC patients are at a disadvantage since they face unique risks and disease-specific complications not factored into their MELD. We have had 10 - 12 potential living donors for him but all have been rejected for one reason or another. I have faith the right donor will come at the right time:-)

@stella25 I am really not familiar with PSC and why that makes it more important to have a living donor so he can be transplanted sooner. My problems were caused by NASH cirrhosis. What are the unique risks that PSC patients have?
I hope you do find a donor for him. I have seen where people have even found them by posting on Facebook. I always marvel at what generous spirits those people must have, to go through that for a complete stranger. My son and daughter both volunteered but that was for me, their mother, so a completely different situation.
