Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is currently the commonest form of liver transplantation in Asia. Efforts to improve the number of deceased donor liver transplantation have not been uniformly successful. We believe that THE unique combination of demographic, social, economic and political factors that exist in Asia will ensure that LDLT will continue to remain the predominant form of liver transplantation. While efforts to increase deceased donation rates should continue and intensify, progress in LDLT should also be supported and encouraged, as it will be the main workhorse of liver transplantation in Asia in the near and medium-term future.
活体肝移植（LDLT）目前是亚洲最常见的肝移植形式。增加已故供体肝移植数量的努力并非都取得了成功。我们认为，亚洲独特的人口、社会、经济和政治因素的综合作用将确保 LDLT 将继续成为肝移植的主要形式。虽然应该继续并加强增加已故供体捐献率的努力，但也应该支持和鼓励 LDLT 的进展，因为它将是亚洲在近期和中期内肝移植的主要动力。
