Graves disease has a myriad of known symptoms, ranging from typical symptoms —such as anxiety, palpitations, diaphoresis, weight loss, heat intolerance, and muscle weakness—to less common symptoms such as high-output heart failure and cholestasis. A delay in the recognition of the underlying thyroid disease causing these symptoms can result in fatal consequences. We report a 36-year-old patient...

Purpose of Review The purpose of this review was to summarise how machine perfusion could contribute to viability assessment of donor livers. Recent Findings In both hypothermic and normothermic machine perfusion, perfusate transaminase measurement has allowed pretransplant assessment of hepatocellular damage. Hypothermic perfusion permits transplantation of marginal grafts but as yet has not...

Donation after circulatory death (DCD) grafts are commonly used in liver transplantation. Attributable to the additional ischemic event during donor warm ischemia time (DWIT), DCD carry an increased risk for severe ischemia/reperfusion injury and postoperative complications, such as cholangiopathy. The actual DWIT depends on course of vital parameters withdrawal life support varies widely betwe...
