Hello doctor. The doctor asked me, if the liver has multiple tumors, will the liver donor be affected after donating the liver? Looking forward to hearing from your doctor. I sincerely thank the doctor.

Answer
Hello!
The principle of liver transplantation is that the donor will have to take part of the liver to transplant to the patient. The condition of the liver donor after surgery will depend on the liver function, the remaining volume of the donor's liver,... and is not related to the patient's pathology.
