Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 They do not transplant a half liver of a cadaver. They use the whole thing. The cadaver has no use for the other half. Rejunifcation varies in each individuals body. The healthier you are, the faster you will Reginerate. I wish you folks that are so concerned about this would take the time to ask a pro.What I am telling you is just from my experiences an I am in no way a Lay Person. --- Ric <richobbs1@...> wrote: > > you will kindly stop telling me then that I don't > know what I'm > talking about.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 And I recall reading reports of transplants of half livers from cadavers so that two separate patients in need get help. That may no longer be the case, though. Things change all the time. Sal Re: I Really Need Help With This One? They do not transplant a half liver of a cadaver. They use the whole thing.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Hi , I'm kinda thinking you misread Ric's post. He wasn't asking about a deceased liver, he was asking about a diseased liver. Take care, Jane Re: I Really Need Help With This One? They do not transplant a half liver of a cadaver. They use the whole thing. The cadaver has no use for the other half.
