If my family has a history of liver failure and needing liver transplants, can i get on a donation list ahead of time to prepare?

No.: To get on the list for a liver transplant, you must be in liver failure. However, you should visit a hepatologist (liver specialist) so that your family's underlying liver disease can be diagnosed and you can receive the proper treatment before your liver fails.

No: You need to see a primary care physician or a hepatology first to find out if you do have the disease. Sometimes you can postpone transplant for many years with clinical management.
