The first step in a Liver Transplant Evaluation is a visit to a  Jefferson Transplant Hepatologist.

Normally, the patient’s doctor forwards a copy of all medical records for review. The hepatologist reviews these records, examines the patient, and presents the case to the Liver Transplantation and Surgery Team.

After the Team agrees that the patient would benefit from a liver transplant, then the patient is scheduled for a  Liver Transplant Evaluation Session.
