Double-dose hepatitis B vaccination in cirrhotic patients on a liver transplant waiting list.
Development of immunity to hepatitis B virus in cirrhotic patients waiting for liver transplantation is highly desirable. Though a double-dose regimen is available, little is know about its effectiveness. We examined the efficacy of double-dose hepatitis B virus vaccination in cirrhotic patients waiting for liver transplantation. We studied 43 patients who were waiting for liver transplantation...
متن کاملFactors that drive HCV resistance to DAAs
Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents specifically target viral proteins. Two DAAs have been already been approved for the treatment of HCV infection and many more are in development. DAA treatment of HCV infection, however, leads to the selection of viral variants (produced by the error-prone HCV polymerase) that are resistant to the DAA agent in use. The selection of DAA-resistant HCV variants...
متن کاملImpact of MELD Allocation System on Waiting List and Early Post-Liver Transplant Mortality
BACKGROUND AND AIMS MELD allocation system has changed the clinical consequences on waiting list (WL) for LT, but its impact on mortality has been seldom studied. We aimed to assess the ability of MELD and other prognostic scores to predict mortality after LT. METHODS 301 consecutive patients enlisted for LT were included, and prioritized within WL by using the MELD-score according to: hepati...
متن کامل“Waiting for DAAs”: A retrospective chart review of patients with untreated hepatitis C in Rwanda

متن کاملPredictors of mortality in patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation.
BACKGROUND AND AIM The demand for liver transplantation (LTx) increases every year, which is in contrast to the stagnation in the number of donors. This phenomenon has given rise to longer waiting times, which results in higher pre-transplantation mortality. Thus, our aim for this study was to identify risk factors, including nutritional variables, for mortality for patients who are on the wait...
