Summary
The purpose of the guideline is to provide guidance to health professionals and additional protection for prospective adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation (LDLT) donors. This guideline is aimed primarily at the jurisdictions that will endorse LDLT, the institutions that will provide LDLT, and the health professionals directly involved in this practice. To the extent that it is adopted by all jurisdictions in line with the particular requirements of their human tissue legislation, and applied in participating liver transplant units, it will promote ethical, lawful and consistent application of quality processes in provision of this complex procedure to donors, recipients and their families.
