Are you currently listed at a transplant center for a deceased donor kidney? There are many contributing factors as to how long your wait would be (avg ~4-5 years in Louisiana) but time on the waiting list is one of the most important variables.

If your brother is anywhere in the South, he needs to head to Ochsner in New Orleans. They have one of the best liver transplant teams in the country.

Also, research dictates there is no correlation between length of time sober and recidivism rates. Therefore, Ochsner has no set sobriety time frame. Patients just need to be committed to remaining sober post transplant.

Best of luck to your brother and his family!
