live donor liver trnsplant

My mom needs a liver transplant and my question is, if i were to be a live donor for her, how is compatability determined?

[Thomas D Schiano, MD]

the donor has to be the same blood type or blood type O, in good health and be about the same size without any liver disease or appreciable medical problems.

For a guide to the  Living Donor process see: http://www.transplant.bc.ca/living%20liver%20donor%20guide_electronic.pdf.  It is a good overview of the entire process and explains the compatibility issues involved.
