Liver transplantation for autoimmune hepatitis: a single-center experience.

Objective: To present our experience with deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) and living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).

Patients And Method: Between April 2001 and November 2006, a total of 116 LT procedures were performed (73 DDLTs and 43 LDLTs) in 112 patients (4 retransplants). Of the 112 recipients, 16 patients (14.

Donor outcome after living liver donation: a single-center experience.

Objectives: To objectively evaluate outcomes after living donor hepatectomy.

Patients And Method: Between November 2002 and August 2006, a total of 44 procedures were performed (35 right, eight left, and one aborted after surgical incision). The Clavien classification was used to record surgical complications as follows: grade I, alterations from the ideal postoperative course not requiring specialized pharmacological or surgical treatment; grade II, complications requiring specialized pharmacological treatment, blood transfusion, or total parental nutrition; grade III-a, complications requiring invasive intervention without general anesthesia; Grade III-b, requires general anesthesia; Grade IV-a, single organ dysfunction; Grade IV-b, multiorgan dysfunction; grade V, death; The suffix "d" indicated disability.
