Explanation

A liver transplant list is a record of patients who are waiting for a liver transplant surgery. This list is usually managed by hospitals or health organizations. Patients are added to this list when their liver is so damaged or diseased that they need a new one to survive. The order of the list is often determined by how urgently a patient needs a transplant, their health condition, and how long they've been waiting.
