Recurrence of cholestatic liver disease after living donor liver transplantation

[Guest guest]

Although the initial experiences with LDLT for PBC and

PSC seem satisfactory or comparable to that with DDLT, some aspects, including

the timing of transplantation, the risk of recurrent disease, and its long-term

clinical implications, require further evaluation. Whether or not the long-term

outcomes of LDLT from a biologically related donor are equivalent to that of

DDLT requires further observations. The clinical course following LDLT may be

affected by the genetic background shared between the recipient and the living

related donor………
