Clinical Research on the Post-operative Hemodynamics Changes in Donors after Living Donor Liver Transplantation
Objective To investigate the postoperative hemodynamics changes and their influence factors in the donors after right lobe living donor liver transplantation. Methods A total of 53 consecutive living donors from Dec 2010 to Aug 2015 who underwent donor right lobe hepatectomy were retrospectively analyzed. We measured residual liver hemodynamics with color doppler ultrasound, detected liver stiffness by transient elastography, also analyzed postoperative liver function, hemodynamics, and the long term variation tendency of hepatocirrhosis and spleen. Results One week after operation, transient liver damage was observed. Post-operative hemodynamics within the follow-up time showed：portal vein diameter was gradually increasing, the velocity decreased gradually；Hepatic vein diameter increased, and the velocity decreased gradually. There was a negative correlation between portal vein diameter and portal vein velocity (P=0.012, r=-3.11). Liver stiffness (Kpa value) decreased gradually with time, while spleen volume gradually increased. Correlation analysis showed that postoperative liver stiffness (Kpa value) was negatively related to portal vein diameter (P=0.013, r=-0.338) and positively related to hepatic venous velocity (P=0.038,r=0.246). Conclusion The donor presented a transient liver injury after operation, but tended to be recovery after one week. Despite post-operative hemodynamic undergo a series of changes, but it does not affect the post-operative long-term donor safety.
