Before your child can get fitness for liver transplantation, he/she/they will need to go through an evaluation process. There are different tests carried out such as:
Diagnostic tests to help check your child’s general and liver health
Psychological and social evaluation done on your child as well as his/her/their family
Color Doppler, CT scan, echo, chest X-ray.
These tests will help determine whether your child is eligible for a liver transplant or not. Some of the cases in which your child may not be able to have a transplant are:
If your child has a chronic infection, active infection
Irreversible brain damage
If your child has heart problems (this can also be treated or operated)
If your child has some other serious condition in other body parts that may not get better after the transplant.
