BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications after living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) that has great impact on recipient and graft outcomes. Dexmedetomidine is reported to decrease the incidence of AKI. In the current study, we investigated whether intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion would reduce the AKI following LDLT. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In total, 205 adult patients undergoing elective LDLT were randomly assigned to the dexmedetomidine group (n=103) or the control group (n=102)...

It is widely demonstrated that moderate-intensity exercise is associated with improved fitness in non-communicable chronic diseases. However, there are no specific guidelines available for transplant recipients. Body composition is closely linked to exercise capacity, typically estimated by cardiopulmonary testing, but its potential correlation with cardiovascular health outcomes has not been investigated yet. This study aims to evaluate and compare cardiorespiratory performance and body composition in two groups of liver and kidney transplant recipients...

Muyocopron laterale is a type of endophytic fungus that parasitizes monocotyledonous plants. Cases of humans and other mammals being infected by M. laterale are very rare around the world. We report the first case of subcutaneous mycosis caused by M. laterale in China. A kidney transplant recipient was admitted for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and subsequently developed left calf redness and swelling due to a M. laterale infection. The patient was treated with sulfamethoxazole and voriconazole and underwent five surgical debridements and vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) applications with the left leg...

BACKGROUND: Individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have been reported to have increased overall risk of cancer. In addition, individuals with a kidney transplant/transplantation (KT) have markedly increased cancer risk due to chronic use of immunosuppressive agents. However, it has not been elucidated whether the observed excess cancer risk is related to KT or whether diabetic kidney disease (DKD) per se is a risk factor for cancer in individuals with T1D. METHODS: The study included 5035 individuals from the Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy Study (FinnDiane) and 14,061 control individuals without diabetes...

The aim of this analysis was to explore mortality outcomes for kidney transplant candidates receiving older living donor kidneys (age ≥60 years) versus younger deceased donors or remaining on dialysis. From 2000 to 2019, all patients on dialysis listed for their first kidney-alone transplant were included in a retrospective cohort analysis of UK transplant registry data. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, with survival analysis conducted by intention-to-treat principle. Time-to-death from listing was modelled using nonproportional hazard Cox regression models with transplantation handled as a time-dependent covariate...

Pulmonary nodules are a common complication in solid organ transplant recipients, and may have various underlying causes, with Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumor (EBV-SMT) being one of them. Given the rarity of this entity, we describe the diagnosis and therapeutic interventions for post-transplant EBV-SMT in two individuals. Both cases involved female patients who were diagnosed with multiple pulmonary nodules 60 months and 116 months, respectively, after receiving living-related kidney transplantation...

Conn's syndrome, defined as unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma, accounts for 35-40% of cases of primary hyperaldosteronism. Primary hyperaldosteronism typically occurs in younger patients with poorly controlled arterial hypertension due to extracellular fluid retention, in whom at least a triple combination of antihypertensives, including a diuretic, is needed to maintain normotension. The clinical picture of arterial hypertension may be complemented by symptoms associated with hypokalaemia, such as weakness, fatigue, palpitations, convulsions, polydipsia, or polyuria...

Paediatric acute liver failure (PALF) is often characterised by its rapidity of onset and potential for significant morbidity and even mortality. Patients often develop multiorgan dysfunction/failure, including severe acute kidney injury (AKI). Whilst the management of PALF focuses on complications of hepatic dysfunction, the associated kidney impairment can significantly affect patient outcomes. Severe AKI requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) is a common complication of both PALF and liver transplantation...

Small animal transplant models are indispensable for organ tolerance studies investigating feasible therapeutic interventions in preclinical studies. Rat liver transplantation (LTx) protocols typically use an orthotopic model where the recipients' native liver is removed and replaced with a donor liver. This technically demanding surgical procedure requires advanced micro-surgical skills and is further complicated by lengthy anhepatic and lower body ischemia times. This prompted the development of a less complicated heterotopic method that can be performed faster with no anhepatic or lower body ischemia time, reducing post-surgery stress for the recipient animal...

This single-center observational cohort study aimed to assess the potential benefits of simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK) in terms of mortality and kidney graft outcomes in Japanese individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We first compared all-cause mortality rates between 78 SPK recipients and 108 non-transplanted individuals with T1D and ESKD. To mitigate the bias stemming from immortal time before receiving SPK, we utilized Cox regression models treating SPK as a time-dependent covariate...

BACKGROUND: Pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients are at risk of developing both sepsis and altered kidney function. Cefepime is used for empiric coverage post-HSCT and requires dose adjustment based on kidney function. Since cefepime's anti-microbial efficacy is determined by the time free concentrations exceed bacterial minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), it is important to assess kidney function accurately to ensure adequate concentrations. Serum creatinine (SCr) is routinely used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) but varies with muscle mass, which can be significantly lower in HSCT patients, making SCr an inaccurate kidney function biomarker...

An mpox outbreak was declared in July 2022 by the world health organization (WHO). It causes a mild self-limiting disease however; in immunosuppressed hosts, it tends to cause severe disseminated infection. Most cases of mpox in sold organ transplant (SOT) recipients reported in the literature were treated with Tecovirimat. Here we report two cases of severe disseminated mpox infection in renal transplant recipients that were successfully treated with Brincidofovir. Both patients were discharged from the hospital with no immediate significant side effects from Brincidofovir reported until the submission of this report...

Cardiovascular disease, infection, malignancy, and thromboembolism are major causes of morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). Prospectively identifying monogenic conditions associated with post-transplant complications may enable personalized management. Therefore, we developed a transplant morbidity panel (355 genes) associated with major post-transplant complications including cardiometabolic disorders, immunodeficiency, malignancy, and thrombophilia. This gene panel was then evaluated using exome sequencing data from 1590 KTR...
