Abstract: Objective: to analyze the possibility of using the liver of a donor undergoing hemodialysis as a transplant. Materials and methods. A case of successful liver transplantation (LT) from a 40-year-old deceased donor, who had been on hemodialysis for 10 years for chronic pyelonephritis and nephrosclerosis, is presented. Of the known hemodialysis complications of chronic kidney disease, the donor’s medical records showed anemia and grade 3 arterial hypertension. Results. The recipient’s post-LT period had no significant differences from the postoperative period of those that received liver from donors with standard criteria. Conclusion. Our first experience with the use of a liver transplant from a donor who was on hemodialysis, in the absence of other risk factors, suggests that the liver of this category of donors can be used for transplantation.
