Liver Transplant Recipient Selection

Specialists from a variety of fields are needed to determine if a liver transplant is appropriate. Many health care facilities assemble a team of such specialists to evaluate (review your medical history, do tests) and choose candidates for a liver transplant. The team may include the following professionals:

Liver specialist (hepatologist)
Transplant surgeons
Transplant coordinator, usually a registered nurse who specializes in the care of liver-transplant patients (this person will be your primary contact with the transplant team)
Social worker to discuss your support network of family and friends, employment history, and financial needs
Psychiatrist to help you deal with issues, such as anxiety and depression, which may accompany a liver transplant
Anesthesiologist to discuss potential anesthesia risks
Chemical dependency specialist to aid those with history of alcohol or drug abuse
Financial counselor to act as a liaison between a patient and his or her insurance companies
