Actual (reported)There are two principal purposes of this study: 1) to determine whether it is more beneficial for a liver transplant recipient candidate to pursue a living donor liver transplant (LDLT) or wait for a deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT), and 2) to study the impact of liver donation on the donor's health and quality of life.

Actual (reported)Survival of the potential liver transplant recipient
Time from evaluation of a living liver donor until death of the potential recipient, to test the benefit of living liver donation.
Time from living donor evaluation to death
Recipient survival from time of transplant (either living or deceased donor)
From transplant until death or last follow-up
Donor complications
From the time of donation until last follow-up
Living liver donors. This label may also refer to those evaluated for liver donation who did not go on to donate, i.e., potential living liver donors.
Liver transplant recipients (either living or deceased donor). This label may also refer to those who were evaluated for liver transplantation, but never received a transplant, i.e., potential recipients.
Potential recipients and donors for transplantation will be evaluated and invited to participate in the study if they are eligible for LDLT using standard criteria for this procedure according to the practice of the transplant center.
