In this Review, the authors discuss the justification for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), the introduction of LDLT for the treatment of pediatric patients and its expansion to include the treatment of adult recipients. How pediatric and adult recipients are selected, LDLT performed, and the implications for living donors affected by these decisions are also considered.
