You can call (866) 548-3783 toll-free to make a referral to the liver transplant program at the Shands Transplant Center at the University of Florida. When physicians refer their liver patients to the Shands Transplant Center, the initial consultation in the Liver Failure Clinic at Shands at UF is prioritized so the sickest patients can be expedited through to the next step -- the pre-transplant evaluation process.

The purpose of the evaluation is to determine:

• Need for liver transplantation
• Suitability for liver transplantation
• Urgency for liver transplantation
• Optimize the medical treatment plan while the patient awaits transplant.

Those who do undergo transplantation are monitored afterward through the Liver Transplant Clinic.

Patients first meet one of our UF hepatologists. Depending on the nature of the patient's disease, he or she may also undergo a medical evaluation with a cardiologist, anesthesiologist or pulmonologist. These experts meet to discuss each individual case and to outline their best recommendations for care.
