Research Abstract	Hepatic venous congestion after living donor liver transplantation can cause primary non function. We evaluated the effectiveness of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor(G-CSF) for regeneration of remnant liver with venous congestion after hepatectomy in the past. But we were distressed to be established the model of living donor partial liver transplantation between rats. There were no living rats after 40% weight graft after transplantation. We have been making a model of living donor whole liver transplantation with partial congestion between rats. And we prepare for living donor liver transplantation in porcine model.
