Why can't we get points or some form of multiplier for

cholangiocarcinoma risk?

Penny

I think that is a good question....I know that it has been discussed many times in the past that there is now alot of things to help PSCers to move up on the list....I really think as I am sure everyone else does that we get a fair chance at tx...and before we are soooo sick that we are not strong enough to get well after tx...and of course before cholangiocarcinoma risk sets in.....

It is almost as if because this is a fairly rare disease...I most of us would disagree with that....that we are forgotten when it comes to making what counts and what doesn't.....

Thanks for thinking of the question to ask....hope we get an answer that will make us feel a little bit better about this....

Does anyone have a question they would like UNOS to answer?

I have their ear again....

Barb, here is my question. As I understand it considerable thought was given in how livers are allocated and the listing to those ready for transplant. UNOS has the numbers of those waiting for transplant and the unmet demand for these organs. How many more lives will be saved by the new allocation method? And if it means less people will make it to transplantation why reinvent the 'wheel' (so to speak)? Why change something that is working and saving more lives?

Why can't consideration be given to someone who has repeated infections, with blood tests ok and only slightly elevated liver enzymes?
