Background: Parental live liver donation is an attractive alternative to deceased donation for pediatric patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD), yet very little has been published about the long-term emotional consequences of live liver donations on donors and their families.
Objectives: To better understand the impact that a parental live liver donation has on the everyday life of the donor.
Method: Thirteen living parental donors from 2 West Coast transplant centers participated.
Context: Providing potential living-related liver donors with all the necessary information before donation can be challenging. What information donors need and are not getting during the evaluation phase has not been defined.
Objective: To increase understanding of the everyday life of living-related liver donors and to suggest educational strategies that could be used by transplant centers during the evaluation process.
