Living Donor Gives New Life to Young Girl with Rare Liver Disease

When 3-year-old Ember T. developed life-threatening complications from biliary atresia, a rare liver disease that affects newborns, her care team at Ochsner Children’s Health Center - New Orleans knew she needed a liver transplant to survive. That’s when Erin D., who had previously donated a kidney, stepped forward to become a living liver donor. The successful transplant gave Ember a new chance at life and forged a lifelong bond between two strangers. #OchsnerHealth #LiverTransplant #OrganDonation #PediatricHealth #LivingDonor
