[edit] Nice

Nice article in The Lancet about transplant outcomes at 3 and 12 months, negative and positive prognostic factors[1]. JFW | T@lk 21:31, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How long between donation and transplantation?

One question I hoped this article would answer for me is: What is the maximum length of time between the liver being taken from the doner's body and being transplanted?

[edit] Merge Proposal from Living donor liver transplantation

It seems to me that this merge should go through as the Living donor liver transplantation article is directly related to this topic. I would assume getting a liver transplant from a live or deceased donor would involve similiar complications and risks to the recipient. I propose the merge take place 14 days from today.

[edit] Finding a Match

Criteria for finding a match should also be put in. Are there special cases, etc?--Hitsuji Kinno 17:49, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survival

I would recommend getting a transplant in the USA and being followed up in the UK: Dawwas MF, Gimson AE, Lewsey JD, Copley LP, van der Meulen JH (2007).

doi:10.1002/hep.21845 looks into what determines acceptance for living-related liver transplant. JFW | T@lk 23:35, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ALD

doi:10.1111/j.1572-0241.2007.01691.x reviews the candidacy in alcoholic liver disease. JFW | T@lk 09:35, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Spelling

This article contains the spellings paediatric and pediatric. I don't know enough about Wikipedia (paedia?) style to know which is preferred in this context or I would fix it myself.
