When your child needs a liver transplant, it can feel overwhelming and uncertain. You want clear answers and a team you can trust.
At Cincinnati Children’s Liver Transplant Center, we care for children with complex liver disease every day. Our team has the experience to treat conditions like biliary atresia, liver tumors, and acute liver failure. We guide families through each step—from evaluation to recovery—with support, clarity, and hope.
Cincinnati Children’s is ranked among the best children’s hospitals by U.S. News & World Report for more than 15 years. This national recognition reflects strong outcomes and trusted care for complex liver disease.
We offer leading treatments such as living donor liver transplants, combined organ transplants, split organ deceased donor transplants, and minimally invasive liver biopsy. These options allow us to treat children others may not accept for transplant and help us to perform transplants faster than national median waitlist time.
Your family is supported by a dedicated nurse coordinator from the start. They help gather records, schedule visits, manage medications, and answer questions at every step.
We treat rare and serious liver diseases, including progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) and liver cancers. Our team works with experts across specialties to create one clear plan for your child.
Care does not stop after surgery. We provide follow-up care, including personalized immunosuppression (medicines to prevent rejection) and ongoing monitoring to protect your child’s health.
What is a liver transplant evaluation like? We review your child’s records, imaging, and test results. Then we guide you on the next steps, which may include a clinic visit or full transplant evaluation.
What if my child was not accepted elsewhere? Our team often sees children who were declined at other centers. We offer second opinions and may provide options others could not offer.
