An unusual cause of elevated values on liver function tests in a liver transplant patient.
ankur Jain, MD amandeep Sahota, MD najeeb S alshak, MD Jim K tung, MD Introduction Biliary obstruction and rejection are two of the most common causes of abnormal findings on liver function tests (LFTs) in patients who have already undergone liver transplantation.

متن کاملFibrosis with inflammation at one year predicts transplant functional decline.
Lack of knowledge regarding specific causes for late loss of kidney transplants hampers improvements in long-term allograft survival. Kidney transplants with both interstitial fibrosis and subclinical inflammation but not fibrosis alone after 1 year have reduced survival. This study tested whether fibrosis with inflammation at 1 year associates with decline of renal function in a low-risk cohor...
