MINIMUM GRAFT VOLUME FOR SUCCESSFUL ADULT-TO-ADULT LIVING DONOR LIVER TRANSPLANTATION FOR FULMINANT HEPATIC FAILURE
Abstract
The major limitation of adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation is the adequacy of the size of the graft that can be safely harvested from the donor. The present report describes a 22-year-old woman with stage 4 hepatic coma due to fulminant hepatic failure who was successfully treated using a small-for-size left lobe graft from her father. The graft weight was 0.6% of the recipient's body weight, or 25% of her ideal liver weight. Avoidance of warm ischemia, short cold ischemic time, and early treatment of rejection are important elements in optimizing small-for-size graft function. Since the left lobe represents 23-36% of the total liver volume of an adult, it is possible, in most cases, to harvest a left lobe graft of adequate size from a donor of similar size as the recipient.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
