Is there further follow-up after the donor leaves the hospital?
Donors are generally seen a week after discharge.
Then, their incision should be checked every 1 to 2 weeks
until totally healed. Blood chemistries also need to be
checked at first. It is not unusual to note mild liver dysfunction
initially, but this quickly returns to normal.
A CT scan is also obtained 3 months after surgery, to check
the remaining liver portion's growth. Blood tests to assess
liver function will also be at this time.
