Liver transplantation is a highly complex and challenging field of clinical practice. Although it was originally developed in western countries, it has been further advanced in Asian countries through the use of living donor liver transplantation. This method of transplantation is the only available option in many countries in the Asia-Pacific region due to the lack of deceased organ donation. As a result of this clinical situation, there is a growing need for guidelines that are specific to the Asia-Pacific region. These guidelines provide comprehensive recommendations for evidence-based management throughout the entire process of liver transplantation, covering both deceased and living donor liver transplantation. In addition, the development of these guidelines has been a collaborative effort between medical professionals from various countries in the region. This has allowed for the inclusion of diverse perspectives and experiences, leading to a more comprehensive and effective set of guidelines.
肝移植是临床实践中一个高度复杂且具有挑战性的领域。虽然肝移植最初在西方国家发展起来,但通过使用活体供肝移植,亚洲国家在这一领域取得了进一步的进展。由于缺乏已故器官捐献,这种移植方法是亚太地区许多国家唯一可行的选择。由于这种临床情况,亚太地区需要制定更具体的指南。这些指南为整个肝移植过程提供了基于证据的管理的全面建议,包括已故和活体供肝移植。此外,这些指南的制定是该地区各国医学专业人员的合作努力。这使得人们能够纳入不同的观点和经验,从而制定出更全面、更有效的一套指南。
