Review of Natural History, Benefits and Risk Factors Pediatric Liver Transplantation
Liver or hepatic transplantation (LT) is the replacement of a diseased liver with part or whole healthy liver from another person (allograft). Human liver transplants were first performed by Thomas Starzl in the United States and Roy Calne in Cambridge, England in 1963 and 1967, respectively. Liver transplantation is a viable treatment option for end-stage liver disease and acute liver failure....
متن کاملThe Optimal Timing of Living-Donor Liver Transplantation
L donors are a significant and increasing source of livers for transplantation, mainly because of the insufficient supply of cadaveric organs. We consider the problem of optimally timing a living-donor liver transplant to maximize the patient’s total reward, such as quality-adjusted life expectancy. We formulate a Markov decision process (MDP) model in which the state of the process is describe...
متن کاملLiver retransplantation for adult recipients
Living donor liver graft can be used for the first or second liver transplantation. The timing of retransplantation also should be stratified as 2 types according to the reoperation timing. Combination of these two classifications results in 6 types of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT)-associated retransplantation. However, late retransplantation to LDLT might have not been performed in...
متن کاملExploring of Living Donors’ Experiences Following Liver Transplantation: a qualitative descriptive study
Background and Objectives: The main challenge in liver transplantation is shortage of donor organs, and using living donor live transplantation (LDLT) has been considered as a new strategy. This study aimed to explore the concept of liver transplantation in living donors’ experiences after donating. Materials and Methods: A qualitative study with qualitative descriptive approach was co...
متن کاملOutcomes of living donor liver transplantation for acute liver failure: the adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation cohort study.
For acute liver failure (ALF), living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) may reduce waiting time and provide better timing compared to deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT). However, there are concerns that a partial graft would result in reduced survival of critically ill LDLT recipients and that the rapid evolution of ALF would lead to selection of inappropriate donors. We report outcom...
