AB  - OBJECTIVE: We employed the 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) and 6-minute 
      walk distance (6MWD) to assess the quality of life (QoL) of donors after 
      living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). METHODS: This longitudinal prospective 
      study had data collection via an interview and test or a mailed survey. Fifty-one 
      liver LDLT donors underwent testing before and after donation using the SF-36 
      questionnaire and 6MWD. RESULTS: The physical component summary (PCS) of the 
      SF-36 declined (P < .0001) and the mental component summary (MCS) increased 
      significantly (P = .04) at 1 month after donation. The 6MWD declined 
      significantly at 2 weeks after donation (P < .0001). After standardization, there 
      was a high correlation between PCS and 6MWD (r(2) = 0.766). CONCLUSIONS: Liver 
      donation had a moderate impact on donor physical status, but enhanced mental 
      status. Similar decreasing trends were observed in 6MWD and PCS. After donation, 
      real physical performance predicted PCS but not MCS.
