Preharvest donor hyperoxia predicts good early graft function and longer graft survival after liver transplantation

does living donor hyperoxia have an impact on kidney graft function after transplantation?

conclusions oxygen therapy in the case group had no significant impact on protection from dgf. results forty living kidney transplantations including 17 cases and 23 controls were performed; female gender was more prevalent in recipients (n = 16, 40%). the mean age of recipients was 36.1 ± 12.4 (18-67) years old. dgf was detected in 2 (5.95%) individuals, from whom one was in the case group and...

A commentary on: Does Living Donor Hyperoxia Have an Impact on Kidney Graft Function After Transplantation

BACKGROUND Improvement in the outcome of organ transplantation is related to advances in patient selection criteria, organ preservation, operative techniques, perioperative care and efficacy of immunosuppressive agents. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the effects of higher levels of arterial PaO2 in donors on DGF (delayed graft function). PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty patients over 18 years ol...

Salvage dual graft living donor liver transplantation after major hepatectomy

Salvage living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) after major hepatectomy has been considered a challenging procedure due to operative complexity. We report a successful case of salvage dual graft LDLT after right hepatectomy. A 48-year-old male was transferred to Daegu Catholic University Medical Center because of duodenal variceal bleeding. He underwent right hepatectomy due to hepatocellular...

Small graft for living donor liver transplantation.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of graft size on recipients in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) to establish a clinical guideline for the minimum requirement. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Although the minimum graft size required for LDLT has been reported to be 30% to 40% of graft volume (GV)/standard liver volume (SLV), the safety limit of the graft size was unknown. METHODS A total o...
