What RLV percentage is safe for right lobe donation?

Donor future liver remnant must be ≥30% of standard liver volume. For donors with steatosis, ≥40% is often required due to impaired regeneration.

How is GRWR calculated for LDLT?

Graft-to-Recipient Weight Ratio = Graft Weight (g) / Recipient Weight (kg). Minimum 0.8–1.0% recommended to avoid small-for-size syndrome. Above 3% (large-for-size) may cause graft congestion.

What imaging is used for donor liver volumetry?

CT volumetry with 3D reconstruction. Measures right lobe, left lobe, segment IV, and caudate lobe volumes. MRI used when CT radiation is a concern (young donors, fertile women).

LDLT Donor Liver Volume Estimate Calculator

Estimate total liver volume (TLV) and remnant liver volume (RLV) for living donor liver transplant evaluation. TLV = -794.41 + 1267.28 × BSA. Minimum donor RLV >30% required for safe donation.
