โœฆ Synopsis

For someone dying of liver disease, the most valuable gift of all is a functioning liver transplant. The requirements to carry out a successful liver grafting operation are expensive and consume health care resources that, in every country, are limited. The donation of organs can only occur where the general public understands the principles of the procedure and is happy with selection of recipients, that the best possible use is made of organs and that the recipients selected are deserving. A patient in need of an organ graft receives such a gift as a privilege, not a right, and it is also a privilege for the donor to make the gift.

The contraindications to liver grafting must be fully understood by the medical profession. They fall into two categories: (a> absolute and (b) relative.

The number of liver donors has not measurably increased since 2004 and has begun to decrease. Although many waitlisted patients may be suitable candidates to receive a living donor graft, they are often reticent to discuss living donation with close friends and family, partly because of a lack of kn
