Living Donor Liver

My brother has stage 4 liver disease hep c and myself and my other brother are not a compatible match. I cannot seem to get anyone else in the family involved which I can understand as it is a serious operation. What options does he have other than waiting till he is at the top of the donor list?

I would try to get him listed at a transplant center. At least he would be evaluated by true experts and you'd have a good idea of his condition.
If there is no willing and qualified donor then a cadaver liver is your only option - if he does indeed need a transplant.

Good luck,
Mike
