    Is there an aqe restriction for donating liver to a family member?
    My mother will be 50 in August. She has a very thick medical history including:
    • Heart attack/Stroke
    • Mid grade 3 Brain tumor
    • Tacacardia
    • and Hepatitis B


    She's under a lot of meds but the Brain Tumor was 10yrs aqo. She now suffers from Liver Cirrhosis, The Doctor has told her a Transplant is needed for her to survive a piece will do. She has two children, My brother is eligible to qive her a piece of his liver but is conflicted by the military. Im a perfect match to her blood type, My question is there an aqe restriction to qive her a piece of my liver? (i.e- must I be 18 to do so. )

    Children have donated to siblings, parents, etc, before. I would assume you would need parental permission to undergo the procedure, but I don't think there would be a problem with it. Her doctor would be able to tell you.
