Correlative study of hepatic venous diameter/liver volume index and extent of hepatic steatosis in living related liver donors: a retrospective observational study

Key Points

• The aim is to explore the relationship between hepatic venous diameter/liver volume index and hepatic steatosis in living liver donors.
• Conducted a retrospective observational study
• Assessed the hepatic venous diameter and liver volume index
• Evaluated the extent of hepatic steatosis in living related liver donors
• The THVD/LV index has a high negative predictive value for hepatic steatosis
• Application improves donor-recipient matching
• Enhances preoperative risk assessment for transplant outcomes
