Waiting for a Liver Transplant

One of the hardest parts of being on a transplant waiting list is the waiting. While you're waiting, there are many things you can do to help increase your chances of a successful transplant, such as:

  • developing healthy habits: eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, and coping with stress
  • taking your medications as prescribed
  • keeping all of your scheduled appointments, both for the doctor and for blood work
  • talking with your family and the transplant team about your concerns and about the transplant process
