Clinical Outcome of Residual Liver Volume and Hepatic Steatosis After Right-Lobe Living-Donor Hepatectomy.

CONCLUSIONS Hyperbilirubinemia was a risk factor in the small-RLV group, and a large amount of pleural effusion was a risk factor in the steatosis 30-50% group. Hepatic steatosis subgroups did not show significantly different degrees of regeneration. The safety of living donors was a major concern while we compiled the extended living-donor criteria presented in this paper.
