Bernie Kosar Scheduled for 5 A.M. Liver Transplant Monday

The 61-year-old has faced cirrhosis, recurrent internal bleeding, a donor-organ infection that postponed surgery.

Overview

  • Kosar announced on X from his hospital bed that he is set for surgery at University Hospitals at 5 a.m. Monday, a schedule corroborated by multiple outlets.
  • He underwent five procedures since Tuesday to control internal bleeding, with weekend updates indicating the bleeding had been slowed.
  • A planned transplant the previous weekend was called off after tests showed the donor liver was infected.
  • A University Hospitals physician warned that any deterioration in his condition could be life-threatening despite recent stabilization.
  • Kosar, who previously disclosed cirrhosis and Parkinson’s disease, has asked for prayers and financial help through ShopKosar.com and a family GoFundMe.
