Hello,,,

I have some questions I am going for testing to see if I am a match for my dad, my brother also.  Im 43 my brother 33....We have the same blood match as him now we need to get the antigen test and crossmatch test.

Does anyone know what are the odds we will be a match? My dad also had a liver transplant 13 years ago also.... >:( >:(

My DAD:
Cirrohsis at 32 from Hepatitis C,,,,50 Liver Failure from Hep C, 52 Liver Transplant, 2000 Lymphoma from Anti Rejection Meds treated and has been fine. 
Present:  Kidney failure from Meds for the liver transplant
Hepatitis C is very very active which is damaging the liver they are worried that he may need a liver transplant to, but until he is strong enough to get the liver biopsy.  And now he is hit with blood infection that he caught in the hospital ( i feel from nurses being not gentle enough with him)....
Started Dialysis Nov 08...Just waiting to see what the miserable Hep C disease is doing to our liver before we can even think about a kidney transplant!!!! :(

Roxanne  :(
My prayers and thoughts are with everyone!!!

I don't know if anyone can guess the odds. Sometimes strangers are a better tissue match than family members, you just never know.
You can learn more and ask questions of other donors at Living Donors Online message forum: http://www.livingdonorsonline.org/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi
Good luck!
