Dear Community Members:
Assalam-o-Alaikum

Â
Basic Donor Criteria:
-
Blood Type: O positive or O negative
-
Age: 18-55 years
-
Health: Good overall health
-
Gender: Male or Female

Donor Questionnaire Link:Â UTSW Living Donor Screening
The recipient has advanced liver disease (PSC, stage 4) and does not qualify for a deceased donor transplant due to a low MELD score. A live donor is the only option. Despite finding five willing donors, none qualified.
Liver donation involves removing half the donors liver, which regenerates within 60 days for both donor and recipient. The process allows both to live normal, healthy lives, but many are unaware of this and hesitate to donate.
Please spread the word in your local masjid and social circles. If you are interested in donating or have questions, contact Nauman at 214-315-3849.
May Allah (SWT) reward you for your efforts.
