LIVER DONOR NEEDED FOR ARMY RESERVE YOUTH

LIVER DONOR NEEDED FOR ARMY RESERVE YOUTH

Command Attention, LLC is advocating for Army Reserve Adrian Clark by coordinating efforts with his family and community to bring awareness of the need of a living liver donor.

Adrian Clark is a 21-year-old active Army Reserve member. He works full time for Peoples Gas and has received several commendations including the 2020 Best Customer Service Award. While in high school, Adrian’s health challenges began. He is diagnosed with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), a rare autoimmune condition that damages the bile ducts in and outside of the liver. PSC primarily affects young and middle-aged men, often in association with underlying inflammatory bowel disease. There is currently no cure for PSC. Adrian needs a liver transplant that can be provided from a living donor. Adrian has a kind heart, needs help, and his health insurance will cover all of the donor’s medical care. Expected recuperation is 6-8 weeks. To meet living donor criteria, an individual must be:
  • Physically fit and in good general health

  • 18-55 years of age

  • Blood type-compatible with the recipient

  • Willing to donate

Should you desire to become a Living Donor or need more information please contact:

University of Chicago Liver Transplant Department at 773.702.4500 or Mrs. Wendy Clark, 708.401.9788 or [email protected]
