I want to donate a lung to a friend that has, perhaps a week to live. He is 0+, I am 0-, CMV neg. I know there are tests to be done, but looking for a hospital in the midwest that will perform a transplant from a living donor/s...lobectomies? Please help
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sorry to say, but lung transplant from living donor is not possible. Lung transplant is only possible from cafeteria Donors within viability period. There is separate lung transplant registry maintained in each country. You need to register in it and wait for his number. If there is emergency then doctors can manage for early transplant. You should consult Cleveland clinic forces this. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your friend. Thanks.
