How would you get an emergency liver transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be the sickest .: Emergent livers are allocated to those with an expected life span of <7 d such as those with acute liver toxicity. Urgent donation is available for those very ill patients on life support. A patial liver from a live donor can be used in an urgent or emergent situation though this is controversial.
