Shaleen Agarwal, Neerav Goyal, Mohammed Nayeem, Shishir Pareek, Subash Gupta – 12 October 2016 – Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in obese patients raises concerns with regards to obtaining grafts of “adequate” graft‐to‐recipient weight ratio (GRWR) and the impact of obesity on the outcomes of LDLT. LDLT outcomes in patients weighing ≥100 kg were compared with those weighing <100 kg. Patients weighing ≥100 kg were divided into 3 categories based on the GRWR of the grafts they received.

The diagnosis of this entity has been based on the presence of biochemical and histological patterns similar to those observed in the primary AIH, although several considerations must be taken into account.
