“…De Villa et al explained that a strong family relationship in Eastern cultures is a factor in the increase in LDLT among Asian nations 16 .

Majority of the donors felt sad on hearing the news about LT and feared losing their loved ones which was one of the major motivating forces to decide about donation yet not all of them believed it was an easy decision signifying there are other obstacles in the path of decision for donation.…”

OBJECTIVESTo analyse the donor characteristics and understand the sociocultural and familial aspects of the decision to donate for living donor liver transplant.METHODSThis is a retrospective study done in the Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology of a liver transplant centre. We enrolled the consenting donors of pediatric liver transplantation between January 2020 and January 2022. The study was conducted through an anonymized questionnaire which was drafted in a multiple‐choice format. The questionnaire had three domains having questions pertaining to demographic details, donor characteristics and sociofamilial aspects of the decision‐making process.RESULTSThe study cohort consisted of 50 donors, 23 males (46%) and 27 females (54%), with the mean age being 31.8 ± 5.6 years. Parent‐to‐child was the most frequent relationship (n = 39, 78%). More than half of our donors had annual income <2.5 lakh/annum or <3500 USD (n = 27, 54%). Twenty‐six (52%) responders had >4 members in their family; 62% were residing in urban areas and 52% of the donors were graduates. The main source of information regarding the feasibility of living donor liver transplantation was primary physicians in 46%. Financial management was the main hurdle in 72%. Majority (74%) denied any effect on their marital relationship and 6% of donors thought that the degree of information provided to them before the transplantation regarding donation was insufficient.CONCLUSIONOur study serves as an essential tool for health professionals to provide sufficient support to the donor. Clinical outcomes and cost must be part of the discussion between caregivers, health professionals and fund contributors.
