Can A Person With Hypothyroidism Be A Liver Donor?

My mom as been diagnosed with cirrohosis of the liver caused from a fatty liver. Her level (count) has reached 18 and her doctor says it is time to meet with the liver transfer specialists and start preparing for a possible liver transplant in the future. I was wondering if I can be considered as a canidate to donate a part of my liver since I have hypothyroidism? I take synthroid to regulate by TSH and symptoms.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
