October is Liver Awareness Month, an opportunity to raise awareness about liver health, transplantation, and the lifesaving impact of organ donation.
For people living with end-stage liver disease, a transplant can offer a second chance at life. Behind every transplant are donor families, recipients, healthcare teams, and donation professionals working together to make that gift possible.
Liver donation is also unique in an important way: a deceased donor can donate their liver to one recipient, or in some cases, the liver can be divided to help two people. Living donation is also possible because the liver has the remarkable ability to regenerate after a portion is donated.
Throughout Liver Awareness Month, we recognize those waiting for a liver transplant, transplant recipients, living donors, donor families, and the professionals who support them throughout the donation and transplantation process.
Learning about organ donation and making your wishes known can make a lifesaving difference.
