Background. Transplantation of hepatic grafts from ABO-incompatible donors is controversial because of the risk of hyperacute rejection mediated by preformed anti-ABO antibodies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the outcome of liver transplants performed with ABO-incompatible living-donor livers and to detect risk factors for development of complications.Methods. From June 1990 to February 2000, 66 patients, 10 months to 55 years old (median, 2 years old), received 68 ABO-incompatible living-donor liver grafts. The antibody titer and clinical course were followed prospectively during a period ranging from 3 to 11 years.Results. The 5-year patient survival was 59%, 76%, and 80% for ABO-incompatible, ABO-compatible, and ABO-identical grafts, respectively (P
