Whenever you go threoug a transplant, your immune

system is combketle destroyed. You don't need to

introduce another Genotype,hence another form of

virus, to attack youe boy. Bill

Ric, you are not stupid.. I am glad that we are having

this discussion so that maybe you will read up on it

and help others that are faced with the same Dilems.

You seem to be very concerned and involved with HepC

and a Dragon Warrior needs all the information that he

or she can get. Keep up the good work. Bill

you will kindly stop telling me then that I don't know what I'm

talking about. It is very true some days I am confused. But I am

perfectly aware of the regerative properties of the liver. My

question was.....Will a diseased half liver regenerate at the

same rate as a healthy one? and will it regerate at all?

considering it would be put into a person who already has a

viral load and other health problems. remember he needed a

liver

I know they are putting cadaver HCV+ livers into transplantees.

But WHY would they have a live donor liver thats HCV+ in the

first place? I ASSume the donor is still alive??

I believe its been shown that an actively infected and damaged HCV liver

does NOT regrow. Or they'd just lop off sections to regen healthy tissues.

Re: I Really Need Help With This One?

Two halves will regenerate making a whole liver. A

lizards tail grows back whenever it is shed doesn't

it.Usually when it grows bacslower in the one that

donated than it des in the one that received. I can't

believe that you had never heard if it,Try an " Ask

Jeeves search about it. It is really cool.....Bill

Should I have taken the liver? This really has me worried, it caught me way

If you have active HepC, that means you will have to

go on treatment as soon as you get over your

transplant. Think positive and you will make it

You know...I was just reading that part over and thinking....NO WAY!

It couldn't have been a live donor.....because they remove one THIRD of

the liver if it's a live donor....and on someone who has been ill for a

long time, many times a third of a liver is deemed to be

insufficient....they feel that a whole liver will give you the best

chance. So a third of an infected liver? No way....
