Abstract

In this article, the authors discuss the increase of body weight of potential living liver donors to avoid the risk of small-for size syndrome in donor liver transplantation. They emphasize the evidence that excessive increase in body weight causes an increase in fat content of liver leading to metabolic syndrome development. The authors also say that it is more ethically acceptable when the approach will focus on recipient measures with inflow modulation compared to donor weight regulation.
