Yes, you can, and that is usually the best option for pediatric patients in need of a liver transplant. You need to undergo a thorough workup that includes volume measurements, liver biopsy, and lab work. Once cleared for the donation you can pick a date for your transplant. Good luck!

You can donate part of your liver to your son if he has liver failure.
