Rate of liver volume increase: can it predict recipient prognosis after left lobe transplantation from living related donors? Context: The purpose of this study was to determine whether liver volume increase can predict recipient outcome. Size-matched left lobe transplantation was performed for 16 patients. Computed tomography was performed in Week 1 after transplantation. Rate of liver volume increase was compared between survivors and deceased subjects. Mean rate of liver volume increase was significantly higher for survivors than for fatalities.
