Living‐donor liver transplantation using donors older than 50 years of age: Recipient criteria and donor risk: A multicenter study of Japanese Society of Hepato‐Biliary‐Pancreatic Surgery
LDLT using elderly donors aged ≥50 years has acceptable graft survival and morbidity rates, and donor age >50 years should not be an absolute contraindication for LDLT. In LDLT involving elderly donors, it is crucial to consider that GRWR <0.84% and NLR >6.6 are adverse prognostic factors. Addressing these factors is necessary to enhance the prognosis, aligning with the increasing public demand for this surgical procedure.
