Please stay strong during this difficult time. The best step is to visit a certified hospital with a liver transplant unit, and their doctors will guide you gently through the entire registration process.

You need to be registered through a licensed transplant hospital on the state organ registry (like ROTTO/SOTTO). The patient must undergo a complete pre-transplant workup to evaluate fitness before the hospital submits the application.

This is a very serious medical process and requires proper guidance. Please discuss this directly with a hepatologist at a registered transplant hospital, as they can explain the legal and medical criteria safely.

My relative went through this last year. You must get a MELD score calculated by your hepatologist to determine the urgency of the transplant. The registration is done through the hospital's transplant committee, so make sure to choose a well-established center.

Get an appointment with a leading liver transplant surgeon immediately. The evaluation process takes about 5 to 7 days of hospital tests, and once they clear you, the hospital transplant coordinator handles the official registration.

While keeping a healthy, salt-free diet is important for liver health, a transplant list registration is entirely a medical procedure. Please contact a specialist at a major hospital immediately as they can guide you through the legal process.
