The International Liver Transplantation Society Living Donor Liver Transplant Recipient Guideline

Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has been increasingly embraced around the world as an important strategy to address the shortage of deceased donor livers. The aim of this guideline, approved by the International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS), is to provide a collection of expert opinions, consensus, and best practices surrounding LDLT.

Aborting a Case of Living Donor Liver

Limited data suggest Liver Transplantation (LT) is considered high risk when moderate to severe Porto-Pulmonary Hypertension (POPH) (MPAP>35mm Hg) via right heart catheterization is documented. A literature review and multicenter data collection have documented up to 36% post-transplant in-hospital mortality in untreated patients when pre-LT MPAP exceeds moderate levels (>35mm Hg) [1]. In the e...

Negative prognostic impact of renal replacement therapy in adult living-donor liver transplant recipients: preoperative recipient condition and donor factors.

BACKGROUND In deceased-donor liver transplantation settings, post-transplantation acute renal failure with the induction of renal replacement therapy (RRT) is known to have negative effects on graft and patient survivals. However, the impact of RRT in living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has not been well investigated. The aim of this study was to elucidate risk factors requiring RRT and p...
