Abstract:
The shortage of cadaveric donor organs remains the critical factor limiting the use of organ transplantation. In this environment of organ shortage, living donor transplantation has emerged as a reasonable therapeutic alternative. Simultaneous kidney-liver transplantation from the same donor has been described. We report a case of right liver lobe transplant from a living donor who had donated his kidney to the same recipient 20 years prior.
