Graft‐to‐recipient weight ratio threshold adjusted to the model for end‐stage liver disease score for living donor liver transplantation

The graft‐to‐recipient weight ratio (GRWR) is an important selection criterion for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The generally accepted threshold is known to be 0.8%. We believe that this threshold can be reduced under certain conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the result...
