During your child's visit to the Pediatric Liver Transplant Program at CHOP, our expert staff will perform a thorough evaluation to determine whether your child needs a transplant. If a liver transplant is recommended, your child's name may be placed on the liver transplant waiting list through the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), a national database that tracks donors and recipients. 

Learn about what happens during a liver transplant evaluation, how you can help your child while on the waiting list, and what to expect when a liver becomes available.
