AbstractWe studied the safety of right-lobe donor hepatectomy in living donors with a positive serological test result for antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc). Of 54 right-lobe living liver donors, serum anti-HBc was positive in 29 donors (54%) and negative in 25 donors (46%). None had a history of hepatitis and all had normal liver biochemistry test results before surgery. Surgical data, postoperative liver function, and outcome of donors were compared according to anti-HBc status. Donors positive for anti-HBc were significantly older (median age, 42 v 31 years; P < .001), but there was no difference in other demographics and liver size. Median blood loss was greater in anti-HBc-positive donors (600 v 350 mL; P = .007). Histological examination showed no difference in degree of portal fibrosis or fatty change in liver grafts. There was no significant difference in postoperative serum transaminase levels or prothrombin times; however, anti-HBc-positive donors had greater serum bilirubin levels day 6 (26 v 21 μmol/L; P = .01) and day 7 (22 v 15 μmol/L; P = .004) after surgery. Postoperative complications developed in 10 anti-HBc-positive and 6 anti-HBc-negative donors (P = .4). All donors who developed cholestasis were positive for anti-HBc, aged 45 years or older, and had mild fatty changes of the liver. Hospital stays were similar. All donors had completely normal liver function at a median follow-up of 31 months (range, 21 to 76 months). A positive serological test result for anti-HBc should not be regarded as a contraindication for right-lobe liver donation.
