Answer:

The risks associated with living donor organ donation include both short and long term health risks of the surgical procedures, problems with a donor's remaining organ function, and psychological problems following organ donation.

It includes short term health risk as well as long term risk of the surgical procedure.
The potential risk that comes with transporting organs from living donors can play a big part in the organs function and psychological problems after the transplant.
