Abstract

Of the 65 institutions registered with the Japanese Liver Transplantation Society in 2010, 13 institutions are located in Tokyo. Because of the shortage of deceased donors, the majority of liver transplantation (LT) are from live donors in Japan. To assess the patient outcome, we evaluated 105 patients who visited Jikei University Hospital for LT between 2003 and 2012. We judged 57 patients to be suitable LT candidates, of whom 22 patients had appropriate donors. Ten of the 11 patients underwent live donor LT (LDLT) at our hospital are alive, while the other patient died before LDLT. Nine of the 10 underwent LDLT at other institutions due to emergency or ABO blood type incompatibility, and 7 of the 11 underwent cadaveric LT (CLT) abroad are alive. Corporation with other institutions, development of a comprehensive transplant environment, and authorization to perform CLT seem to be important for a successful LT program.
