Chronic kidney disease (CKD) results in irreversible decline in renal function, which ultimately progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Several doubts can appear in the minds of donors and among general public regarding the quality of life (QOL) after donation which can affect the willingness to donate.

Postoperative complications in living liver donors: A retrospective study, single-center experience in Saudi Arabia.

Outcome of duct-to-duct vs. Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy biliary anastomoses in below 15-kg pediatric liver transplant recipients.

The best type of biliary anastomosis to use in lower weight pediatric liver transplant recipients is debatable. In this study, we share a single center's experience comparing the rate of anastomotic biliary complications based on the type of biliary anastomosis performed in this population of patients. A retrospective review of pediatric liver transplants for recipients weighing <15 kg from 11/2003 till 12/2011 was performed.
