UC to shut down liver transplant program

[Guest guest]

The closure affects 37 patients currently on

the transplant wait list and another 45 in the screening process to determine

eligibility. It does not affect 255 patients who have

already had liver transplants but receive their follow-up care at UC .

The university began notifying patients

Thursday. They will be referred to three liver

transplant centers operating in the Bay Area, including UC San Francisco, Stanford University

and California Pacific Medical

Center. The

program will not shut down until all patients have made a transition elsewhere……..
