Article Synopsis
- A consensus meeting of national hepatobiliary experts took place on May 26, 2023, at PKLI & RC, aiming to develop guidelines for managing hilar cholangiocarcinoma (hCCA).
- The meeting emphasized the need for a multidisciplinary approach to manage hCCA effectively, highlighting diagnostic methods like CT and MRI for staging, as well as the importance of surgical resection for potentially curative treatment.
- For patients with unresectable hCCA, options include liver transplantation and palliative chemotherapy, with guidelines suggesting personalized treatment plans based on local discussions.
Background And Aims: The study aimed to determine the prevalence of hereditary thrombophilia, and stratify its severity among live liver donors in Pakistan. Also, the authors evaluated the safety and efficacy of thrombophilia profile testing directed venous thromboembolic events (VTE) prophylaxis while balancing bleeding risk and the need for routine thrombophilia testing before live liver donation among living donor candidates.
Materials And Methods: Protein S (PS), protein C (PC), anti-thrombin (AT) III, and anti-phospholipid antibody panel (APLA) levels were measured in 567 potential donor candidates.

Patients unlikely to obtain deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) are offered living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) as an alternative. The success of LDLT is bound to the availability of altruistic donors who undergo smooth and safe surgery. Donor morbidity is reported to be up to 20-30%, while donor mortality is only 0.
