Abstract
- BACKGROUND The safety of healthy living donors undergoing hepatic resection for living-donor liver transplantation is of paramount concern. Although blood transfusions have been associated with morbidity and mortality after hepatectomy, there is limited information about the risk factors associated with blood transfusion in living liver donors. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 2344 donors who underwent a hepatectomy for living-donor liver transplantation. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine blood transfusion predictors in living-donor hepatectomy. RESULTS Of these donors, 48 (2.0%) and 97 (4.1%) were transfused with packed red blood cell (PRBC) and fresh-frozen plasma (FFP), respectively. The amount of PRBC and FFP administered to donors transfused with blood products were 1.9±0.8 and 3.7±2.5 units, respectively. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, a low preoperative hemoglobin level was found to be an independent predictor of PRBC transfusion in donor hepatectomy (odds ratio=0.585; 95% confidence interval=0.451-0.758; P
