“…However, donor and recipients are properly advised of the morbidity and mortality rates as well as of the long-term outcomes at our program so that they can make an informed decision about whether they opt for live donation or wait for a deceased donor. Based on the present and previous analysis (16,22), we believe that is appropriate to continue to offer LDLT to ALF patients, since the survival achieved is similar to the one obtained with DDLT (1, 3-5 year survival for DDLT: 92% vs. LDLT: 86%; p ¼ 0.63) and donor morbidity can be kept to the minimum.…”
