The mortality rate among children with acute liver failure (ALF) on the waiting list for liver transplantation is high. We present our experience with living related donor liver transplantation (LRD-LT) in children who required urgent transplantation for ALF. Between December 1995 and July 1997, 6 c
We read with interest the article by Campsen et al. 1 describing the outcomes of adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for acute liver failure (ALF) in the United States. They described 2 concerns in applying LDLT for ALF: appropriate donor evaluation during the rapid evolution of
For acute liver failure (ALF), living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) may reduce waiting time and provide better timing compared to deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT). However, there are concerns that a partial graft would result in reduced survival of critically ill LDLT recipients and
The outcomes of patients with acute liver failure (ALF) vary greatly according to etiology. Emergency adult-to-adult living-donor liver transplantation (adult LDLT) would help address the shortage of available organs for patients with ALF, especially in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-endemic areas. We anal
