Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT): A single center experience

Mona El-Amir

Cairo University, Egypt

I

n the absence of cadaveric donor liver transplantation, Living-Donor Liver Transplantation (LDLT) is an alternative option

for patients with end-stage liver disease. LDLT continues to be a life-saving option in countries without satisfactory cadaveric

donation. In our country, the cadaveric donation is still limited by religious and cultural beliefs, as in Japan, Korea and India.

We reported the outcome of 120 adult LDLTs at Cairo University Transplant Center. Patient’s records were retrospectively

reviewed between 2006 and 2014 for recipient survival and complications. Transplant recipients consisted of 110 men and

10 women (ages 19 to 62 years). The main indication for LDLT was hepatitis C cirrhosis. All procedures were right lobe

hepatectomy without middle hepatic vein. All donors survived the procedure and 64 of 120 LDLT recipients were alive. 30

patients died in the early (first 3 months) post-operative period (25%) because of infections, vascular complications, biliary

complications, CVA and pulmonary embolism. 64% of the donors survived for one year. HCV recurrence occurred in 61

patients (50.8%); biliary complications developed in 47 recipients (39%), where most of them were treated by interventional

technique. Vascular complications occurred in 12 patients (10%). 38 patients suffered from infections (31.6%). Acute rejection

occurred in 21 patients (17.5%); while chronic rejection developed in 7 patients (5.8%). Our results indicate that LDLT is with

rather satisfactory outcome in absence of cadaveric donation.
