dc.description.abstract | Altruism in regard to liver transplantation is the desire to donate part of the liver and thus increase the life and welfare of the individual who needs the organ, without any expectation of reward or gain by the donor. It is regarded as a basic principle of all types of transplantation. Live organ liver donation is an illustration of altruism and is important in many places where medical need outstrips available cadaveric liver donation. The near universality of altruism propels many prospective donors to try and save or extending the lives of persons suffering from liver disease. However, both altruistic donors and the transplant patients need psycho-social support, often on an ongoing basis. The examples of some donor conversations illustrate the complexity, fears and dynamics at play in so many families. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022. | en_US |
