Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Donor steatosis is a major risk factor precluding living liver donation. We present the first case reported from India of right lobe donor hepatectomy following bariatric surgery. A 30 year old morbidly obese (weight 100kg, BMI 42.7kg/m2, Obesity class III, PCOD) female presented voluntarily for evaluation as a living liver donor for her relative, a 52 year old male alcoholic DCLD, CTP 11, MELD- Na 37. She was turned down as a donor due to NAFLD prioritizing donor safety and was advised weight loss to improve her overall health.
