Pro: Transplants from living donors go more smoothly. Since livers from living donors are outside the body for a shorter amount of time than ones that come from someone who has died, they tend to "take" better, Te says. But whether you get a liver from a living donor or someone who...
People who get a liver transplant from a living donor tend to have a higher rate of short-term survival than those who get their liver from a donor who has died. Doctors can’t say whether long-term survival rates are better for living-donor recipients. That’s because living-donor recipi...

Totally 81 patients who underwent LDLT for...
