Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
Well,there is obviously abo incompatibility so you can not be donor unless in extreme cases. Second,it is not reasonable to have liver transplant if there is no clear diagnosis established. This may be curable disease if course so transplantation would be unnecessary in this case. You should do more detailed tests to find cause if liver failure.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
