I would apply for a liver transplant if recommended by Matthew’s doctor if he was my son. I think that the risk of transplant, especially a very common transplant such as a liver transplant, has reduced with advanced medical research and more practical experience. The rejection rate is still 40% in children, however the risk of rejection doesn’t result in death or major complications, just that the child may have to go on more medications or have a second liver. The cons of not getting a liver transplant immensely outweigh the pros, and it is a much easier, less stressful life to live if the transplant is accepted, which it most likely will. A liver transplant wouldn’t completely cure the disease, and he is still genetically made to have MSUD,
