Abstract
The uptake of living liver donation in Western nations has significantly lagged behind that observed in the East, primarily due to a perceived lack of necessity in the face of relatively more deceased donors. In the United States, living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) rates have only marginally fluctuated over recent years and have remained at a meagre 3.5-5% of total donations (1). Nonetheless, underpinning these observations is the fundamental tenet of donor safety which forms the cornerstone of the practice of living liver donation (2).
