Updated by SGH-TRANSPLANTPEDIA A living donor liver transplant typically requires a compatible blood type between the donor and recipient, categorized primarily by Type O, Type A, Type B and Type AB.
For donors:
1. If you have Blood Type O, you can donate to a person with Blood Type O, A, B, AB
2. If you have Blood Type A, you can donate to a person with Blood Type A, AB
3. If you have Blood Type B, you can donate to a person with Blood Type B, AB
4. If you have Blood Type AB, you can donate to a person with Blood Type AB
In some cases, ABO-incompatible (ABOi) liver transplant is possible, where a patient receives a liver from a donor with a different, mismatched blood type.
This can be explored with the Transplant Surgeons or Hepatologists during one of the consultations.
What are the compatible blood types between donor and recipient for living donor liver transplant?
