Comparison of cadaver donors vs living donors. Left, One-year graft survival based on recipient age (graft survival decreased significantly in patients >50 years receiving a living donor compared with a cadaver donor; P<.01). Right, One-year graft survival based on donor age (graft survival of living donor decreased significantly when donor age >35 years; P<.01).

5. Figure 4
Kaplan-Meier estimates of patient survival based on United Network for Organ Sharing data. Survival compared among patients who are hepatitis C virus negative (HCV-), patients who are hepatitis C virus positive (HCV+), and patients who have cholestatic liver disease. Patient survival is significantly decreased (P<.001) in both the HCV-patients and those with cholestatic liver disease.
