@rebekahinvt my daughter donated a kidney to my f-i-l (her grandpa) in 2003. Now I’m in need of a kidney myself. My daughter thinks outside of the box. She called Mayo to ask if she could donate part of her liver to someone on my behalf in exchange for a kidney for me. She was told:
1. A living liver donor & liver recipient need to be related in some way.
2. The paired donation exchange chain doesn’t work the way she proposed (across organs).
3. She would not be considered for living liver donation since she had already donated a kidney.
That’s our story. Perhaps things are different if the liver donation came first and then the kidney donation? Also various transplant centers establish different policies, criterion, rules & regulations.
