Core Tip	There is an increasing demand of livers for transplantation. Several studies showed successful results with elderly donors. We reviewed the aging process of the liver and the transplant outcomes of elderly donors. We highlight that elderly donors can be utilized given the extensive screening process allowing for risk factor analysis and appropriate allocation. Hence they should be used to allow for treatment of liver disease globally and help mitigate the shortage of hepatic grafts.
