Liver regeneration after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT)

The authors investigate the factors influencing liver regeneration in living donors and recipients following liver transplantation, specifically examining liver graft hypertrophy and spleen shrinkage. Their findings reveal that donors exhibit higher regeneration rates compared to recipients, with significant correlations between liver function, muscle mass, and regeneration outcomes. The study highlights the complex interplay between liver volume, metabolic environment, and regeneration processes in both donors and recipients.
