Sociodemographic characteristics of living liver donors: Few changes over 20 yearsAlyson Kaplan et al.Clinical TransplantationFirst published: 09 May 2022 https://doi.org/10.1111/ctr.14701AbstractIntroduction: Although there are well-documented challenges in access to living donor liver transplant (LDLT) among recipients, it is unclear whether living liver donors (LLDs) face similar challenges.…Conclusion: During the last 20 years, LLDs have remained White, employed, highly educated, and young with increasing numbers of women LLDs. The relative lack of change in the characteristics of donors is likely attributable largely to socioeconomic factors, which should be assessed in future investigation.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ctr.14701?campaign=woletoc
