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
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
