Several reports claim that portal hypertension after living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) adversely affects graft function, but few have assessed the impact of portal venous pressure (PVP) on graft regeneration. We divided 32 adult LDLT recipients based on mean PVP during the 1st 3 days after LDLT into a group with a PVP greater than or equal to 20 mm of Hg (H Group; n = 17), and a group with a PVP < 20 mm of Hg (L Group; n = 15). Outcome in the H Group was poorer than in the L Group (58.8 vs. 92.9% at 1 year). Peak peripheral hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) during the 1st 2 weeks was higher in the H Group (L: 1,730 pg/mL, H: 3,696 pg/mL; P < .01), whereas peak portal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level during the 1 st week was higher in the L Group (L: 433 pg/mL, H: 92 pg/mL; P < .05). Graft volume (GV) / standard liver volume (SLV) was higher in the H Group (L / H, at 2, 3, and 4 weeks, and at 3 months: 1.02 / 1.24,.916 / 1.16,.98 / 1.27, and .94 / 1.29, respectively; P
