Who is a good candidate for this transplant?

Good candidates are patients with end-stage liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, acute liver failure) who are not candidates for deceased-donor transplant due to long wait times or lack of available organs. Contraindications include active infection, severe cardiopulmonary disease, uncontrolled malignancy outside the liver, or psychosocial issues that prevent compliance. Donors must be healthy, blood-type compatible, and have sufficient liver volume after donation.
