Abstract
Conclusion : Through this work, we can conclude the following : Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) surgery is associated with different psychiatric disorders in both recipient patients and living donors. Recommendations Further large sample studies should be carried out to prove our findings. More attention should be paid to living donors with regular psychiatric follow up and evaluation as they are considered healthy persons whose psychiatric morbidity increased after liver donation. Limitation of the current There are several limitation of the current study including its longitudinal nature. This results in adding more burden and effort on liver transplant recipient patients who need to be subjected to long psychometric scales at different interval in time. The cognitive tests were rough and did not, exactely, reveal what cognitive domains are affected by liver transplantation. Due to liver transplantation protocol exclusion criteria, we did not include patients with severe mental illness. However, persons with severe mental illness can be safely and effectively subjected to liver transplantation. Self-report questionnaire was used to assess the mental health of donors and recepients. Self-reported data are generally reliable and biases may be unavoidable due to incorrect recall or unwillingness to reveal personal information. Finally, data were collected at a single medical center, which may somewhat limit the applicability of the study results. Larger scale studies are required to further verify the findings of the present study.
