An estimated 372, 000 new cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are diagnosed each year, constituting 4.6% of all new human cancers. Objectives The aim of our study was to study the complications of Hepatocellular Carcinoma patients post living Donor Liver Transplantation at Ain Shams Center for Organ Transplantation. Patients and methods The study population underwent Living donor liver Transplanation due to hepatitis C virus related hepatocellular carcinoma during the period from January 2008 to 2019.A total number of 114 patients underwent LDLT due to HCV related hepatocellular carcinoma.Fourteen patients(12.2%) were excluded because of the intraoperative death or postoperative early death, 7 patients(6%) were excluded because of overlapping etiologies with hepatitis C (HBV,autoimmune hepatitis,BCS,…etc) and 11 patients (9.6%) were excluded due to their age.Eighty two patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria for enrollment were recruited in the study. Results The most common complications were (45.1%) neuropsychiatric side effects induced by immunosuppressive treatment, malignancy, hypertension, renal impairment, stroke, small for size disease…etc. Biliary complications (34.1%) as well as sepsis (34.1%) were the second common complications then rejection (18.3%), recurrence (12.2%), death (11%) and vascular complications (10%). Conclusion There was no statistical significance for those within or out side the Milan criteria or UCSF criteria and its impact on the occurrence of graft rejection, sepsis, vascular complications, death, HCC recurrence and biliary complications post-transplant.
