“…Thus, the aim of this study is to assess the psychiatric morbidity rate and risk factors encountered in the donor's post donation as well as their psychosocial profile and personality traits. This research is the third report of a series of publications in this field [9,10].…”

Background: Living donor liver transplantation is an effective line of therapy for patients with end-stage liver disease. While there are various psychiatric complications that affect donors, only a few studies investigated such complications among Egyptian living donors. Results: The study showed psychiatric morbidity in 15% of donors, especially anxiety disorders and major depression. Donors had high mean scores on psychoticism, neuroticism, impulsivity, and extraversion subscales of the EPQ. Female gender, younger age group, low educational level, managerial work, being the sibs of the recipients, and obtaining high scores in the EPQ were found to be independent risk factors correlated with the development of psychiatric morbidity in liver donors. Conclusion: The increased frequency of psychiatric morbidity among liver donors raises the need for thorough pre-and postoperative psychiatric assessment and monitoring. It is mandatory to investigate the donors' personality traits preoperatively to assess the decision-making process for donation and postoperatively to plan appropriate protective and treatment programs.

“…[17] Living liver donors should be carefully followed up and monitored after donation to determine the short-term and long-term outcomes and complications of this procedure, including any social, psychological, financial, or emotional problems that could negatively affect the QoL and wellbeing of living liver donors. [18][19][20][21][22] In this study, we were concerned with the outcomes during long-term follow-up. Other studies that discussed short-term complications showed that the early postdonation morbidity related to LDLT did not impact the donors' long-term satisfaction.…”

Living donors are healthy individuals who are exposed to a major surgical procedure during which a major part of their liver is resected. Data on the long‐term consequences of living liver donation are scarce. This study examined clinical, laboratory, and long‐term health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in 237 living liver donors and 239 matched controls during 48–168 months of postdonation follow‐up. We used the 36‐item short‐form health survey (SF‐36), version 1. The scores for the four following subscales were higher in nondonors than in donors: physical functioning (p = 0.009), role limitations due to physical health (p = 0.002), energy/fatigue (p < 0.001), and bodily pain (p < 0.001). The scores on the eight subscales of the SF‐36 were higher in donors with living recipients than in donors whose recipients died (p < 0.001). Our results suggest that living donor right hepatectomy is safe and results in a postdonation HRQoL similar to that of nondonors in those donors whose recipients are healthy, whereas donors whose recipients die have a lower HRQoL that is significantly negatively correlated with the time since recipient death and improves over time.
