Living Donor Evaluation Process
The video outlines Johns Hopkins Hospital’s step‑by‑step living liver donor evaluation, guiding prospective donors through registration, testing, review, and pre‑operative phases. Candidates must first register online, confirming age (18+), absence of cancer, infections, substance use, and a solid support network. An Independent Living Donor Advocate (ILDA) interview safeguards against coercion. The program covers all evaluation testing—fasting labs, CT and MRI scans of the abdomen, cardiac ultrasound, echocardiogram, EKG, and chest X‑ray—while any incidental medical work is billed to the donor’s insurance. Donors receive a billing letter for evaluation tests and are instructed to maintain routine health care, including vaccines and screenings. The transcript stresses, “It is not ethical for you to be paid, pressured, or coerced into organ donation,” and explains that mismatched blood type or liver size may lead to a paired‑donation swap. Final candidacy is decided after multidisciplinary review; approved donors schedule a six‑hour surgery with gallbladder removal, a 5‑7‑day hospital stay, and a strict post‑op regimen (no lifting over 10 lb for six weeks, no driving on narcotics). Ongoing monitoring extends for two years, underscoring the long‑term commitment required and the life‑saving impact of living liver donation.
