Living Donor Liver Transplant for Alcoholic Liver Disease: Data from the Adult-to-adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation Study

Conclusions. LDLT for ALD results in excellent 1-, 5-, and 10-year graft and patient survival. Patients with ALD and impaired renal function have a higher risk of graft loss and death. These findings support the notion that early LDLT for patients with ALD may help optimize outcomes.
