Family of 6-month-old Toronto baby girl pleads for live liver donor to save her life
organ donations as they wait for their young daughter to get a liver transplant that could save her life.“She was having jaundice but it’s common for babies… And the doctors was assuring that, ‘Yeah, it’s okay, it’s not a concern,’ but at two months when it was not going away they did some tests and suddenly in the morning told us that she had to go to the hospital,” recalled Preetha Haque.The family learned baby Aliza has Biliary Atresia, a blockage in the tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder. In babies with this condition, bile flow from the liver to the gallbladder is blocked and can lead to liver damage and cirrhosis of the liver, if not treated.
