Abstract:
To investigate the cause of donor death in living donor liver transplantation(LDLT), we reviewed all published articles in English on LDLT from the Foreign Medical Journal Full-Text Service (FMJS) and searched the literature for donor deaths before 2008. We identified 12 donor deaths. The rate of donor death is 0.2%. Any donor death would be a catastrophe for the donor's family and for the medical team. It is imperative to avoid donor death in LDLT.
