Description

Learn about the different ways you can save a life through direct, altruistic, or paired donation. This USC Living Donor Wellness Program session explores the diverse methods of living liver donation and how they expand opportunities for patients. Our experts will discuss the medical and ethical side of each pathway.

What We Will Cover

  • Direct Donation: Donating to a specific family member or friend.
  • Non-Directed (Altruistic): Donating to someone you don’t know on the waiting list.
  • Paired Exchange (Swap): When donor-recipient pairs “swap” to find compatible matches.
  • Donation Chains: A series of transplants started by one altruistic donor.
  • Eligibility & Evaluation: How we determine who can safely become a donor.
  • The Transplant Center’s Role: How USC coordinates these complex life-saving strategies.
