Its a common type and I thought the only requirement for compatability was blood type with regards to liver. >> O+ is a problem for being on the list a long time because anyone can receive an O+ liver but O+ people can only have O+. So everyone else ahead or equal on the list has a chance for the liver before you do. Seems weird but that's how it was explained to me - hope it makes sense Another O+, Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 That doesn't seem fair. If O+ can only have O+ why don't they get a shot at it first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2002 Report Share Posted June 20, 2002 Wow! That is so great! Re: [ ] Digest Number 2348 Amy,I had an emergency transplant in June 99. I had AB+. Which I was told is a rarer form of blood match. any way I did get lucky when the transplant team found a 0 liver for me. I just celebrated my 3rd year of my liver transplant last Sunday of course it was Father's day. My family surprised me totally by having candles on the cake.gayle/trans.6-99galye@... @` \I/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
