Donor factors influencing graft outcomes in live donor kidney transplantation.

abstract：:In a cross-sectional survey of the quality of life of 45 liver transplant recipients, physical and psychological status, physical complaints, capability to participate in daily life, social support, and global quality of life were assessed. The average time of follow-up was 9 months after transplantation. Nine patient...
