Clear, legal and honest information about who can donate part of their liver — and how donor safety is protected.
Parents, children, siblings, spouse and grandparents may donate, as permitted by law — always as genuine volunteers.
Generally 18–55 years, with a healthy liver, suitable anatomy and no major medical conditions.
Matched blood groups are ideal; ABO-incompatible and swap options can help when they differ.
A potential donor is never rushed. Evaluation is designed to protect the donor first.
Confirming the donor is a willing volunteer who understands the process, with no pressure of any kind.
General health check, liver function and infection screening to confirm the donor is fit.
Scans to assess the liver's size, volume and blood-vessel anatomy, ensuring enough healthy liver remains for the donor.
Formal authorisation by the hospital's transplant committee, as required by law, before anything proceeds.
Not every family has a suitable living donor. Donation after brain death — through the government's regulated programme — saves many lives every year, and one donor can help several patients. Raising awareness of deceased donation is something Dr. Yadav strongly supports, always within the legal framework.
Only near-relatives — such as parents, children, siblings, spouse and grandparents — may donate as living donors under Indian law. Every donor must be a genuine volunteer, in good health, and is thoroughly evaluated to confirm donation is safe for them.
A potential donor undergoes blood tests, imaging of the liver (to check size and anatomy), assessment of general health, and counselling. The goal is to confirm the donor is healthy and that donating is safe for them before anything proceeds.
The liver regenerates, so a healthy donor's liver grows back to near-normal size within weeks, and donors generally return to a completely normal life. Donors are selected only after evaluation confirms it is safe. The team explains all risks honestly.
Donating to a near-relative, as a genuine volunteer, is legal and requires formal approval. Paying for an organ, or receiving payment to donate, is strictly illegal. This clinic never arranges, sources or facilitates paid donors in any form.
