Westminster woman’s liver donation intended for sister saves life of stranger

Amy Feldman [associate professor of pediatrics at CU School of Medicine] is the medical director of the Liver Transplant Program at Children’s Hospital Colorado, which is fitting since her favorite organ is the liver. “The liver is really special because it can regenerate. So, you can take a piece of liver out of a grown-up person like you and put it into a child, it will immediately start working in the child and within a couple of weeks it will be regrown back to a full size in both the donor and the recipient,” explained Feldman.
