Histocompatibility and Liver Transplant Outcome
An analysis of more than 500 liver transplants has demonstrated that HLA compatibility is associated with diminished allograft survival. Liver transplants with zero mismatches for class I and/or class II HLA antigens have shown significantly lower actuarial survival rates than transplants with one or more mismatches for these loci. In a group of 119 failed liver allografts from patients undergo...
متن کاملPediatric Liver Transplant
The goals of post-transplant management are to manage and treat postoperative complications, and develop a balanced long-term immunotherapy regimen that minimizes infection and side effects but controls rejection. While modern immunosuppressant regimes have reduced rates of graft loss due to rejection, they impart major risks for infection, growth failure, metabolic complications, and malignanc...
متن کاملTumor markers as useful predictors of survival rate after exploratory laparotomy for liver malignancies.
BACKGROUND Tumor markers are used for the prediction of relapse and in determining the effect of postoperative or post-oncological therapy as a standard component of follow-up. Metastatic processes of the liver and primary malignancies of the liver and gall bladder are very common in the European population. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the behaviour of malignancy in patients who ha...
متن کاملPeripartum cardiomyopathy: inflammatory markers as predictors of outcome in 100 prospectively studied patients.
AIMS Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a disorder of unknown aetiology with a course and outcome that is largely unpredictable. We evaluated the prognostic role of multiple inflammatory markers in the plasma of a large cohort of African patients with PPCM. METHODS AND RESULTS The study of 100 patients with newly diagnosed PPCM was single-centred, prospective, and longitudinal. Clinical asse...
متن کاملLaboratory markers as predictors of the outcome of resuscitation; a pilot study
Introduction Deciding when not to attempt resuscitation (DNAR) is problematic for many reasons but not least because of the difficulty in predicting the outcome in any given individual. “Futility” is often used as a justification for DNAR, but it lacks precision and is prone to subjectivity. Predictive scoring systems might avoid unnecessary pessimism and also minimise truly futile attempts whi...
