Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Live liver donors with BMI >30 are usually not considered for donation due to concerns of fatty changes and post-surgical complications. We aimed to evaluate the post-transplant outcomes for both donors and recipients with different BMIs and characteristics.  METHODS: Records of donors and their recipients who underwent adult to adult live donor liver transplantation (LDLT) between 2013 and 2018 at Johns Hopkins were reviewed. Liver steatosis >20% was excluded in all donors by imaging or liver biopsy. Survival curves were generated using Kaplan–Meier plots. Significant variables had P-values RESULTS: 43 donors and 43 recipients were identified. 54.7% of donors were male, had a mean BMI of 26, average age of 34.6 years and length of stay of 7.23 days. 90-day outcomes were measured and complications were reported in 11 donors. Two donors visited the ED for pain. Four needed admission with duration of 1 to 4 days. No mortality was reported in the donors. 17 donors had BMICONCLUSION: We conclude that LDLT from donors with BMI≥ 30 in the absence of graft steatosis has similar outcomes than donors with BMI <30 and can be considered for LDLT.
