BACKGROUND Management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) exception era remains regionally variable. Outcomes were compared for patients undergoing transplant versus resection at a single institution in a UNOS region with short wait times for organ availability. METHODS All patients who underwent resection of HCC from January 2000 to August 2012 a...
IMPORTANCE Damage control (DC) with intra-abdominal packing and delayed reconstruction is an accepted strategy in trauma and acute care surgery but has not been evaluated in liver transplant. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incidence, effect on survival, and predictors of the need for DC using intra-abdominal packing and delayed biliary reconstruction in patients with coagulopathy or hemodynamic in...
conclusions the lee is a common finding among kidney transplant recipients. serial monitoring of aminotransferases, particularly alt, should be performed in all patients after kidney transplantation. patients and methods liver enzymes and other biochemical parameters were measured in all recipients. patients were divided into three groups, according to laboratory test time since transplantation...
Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare but life-threatening disorder characterized by obstruction of the hepatic venous outflow. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, the location, and extent of the obstruction, and the functional capacity of the liver. A stepwise therapeutic approach is commonly accepted. When all other therapy options are unsuccessful, or in case of end-stage liver disease, tran...
PURPOSE To assess the level of depression in patients listed for liver transplantation. METHODS Sixty-four adult patients, listed for liver transplantation, were submitted to psychological evaluation, including assessment of depression by means of the Beck Depression Inventory. RESULTS Twenty-two percent of the patients had mild/major depression. The group consisted mainly of male patients ...
The Human Organ Transplant Act (HOTA) permitting transplantation of organs from brain-dead individuals was passed by the Indian parliament in 1994. In the 12 years since, only approximately 100 deceased-donor liver transplants (DDLT) have been performed in 18 centers countrywide. As per the Western liver transplant rates of 15-20 per million population (USA, UK), the number of patients requirin...
The liver transplant allocation system is currently based upon the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score and allocates organs preferentially to patients with the highest scores (ie, the sickest patients) within a defined geographic unit. In addition, certain patient populations, such as patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and portopulmonary hypertension, receive MELD exception point...
BACKGROUND/AIMS Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the standard approach for the management of biliary complications in liver transplant patients; however, its safety and efficacy have not been established in this setting. This study was performed to evaluate the safety and long-term efficacy of ERCP in transplant patients. METHODS The case reports of 1,500 liver transpl...
HCV infection has a severe course of disease in HIV/HCV co-infection and in liver transplant recipients. However, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Here, we evaluated functional profiles of HCV-specific T-cell responses in 86 HCV mono-infected patients, 48 HIV/HCV co-infected patients and 42 liver transplant recipients. IFN-gamma and IL-2 production and ability of CD4 and CD8 T cells to p...
OBJECTIVES Budd-Chiari syndrome is a low-prevalence, life-threatening disorder characterized by hepatic venous outflow obstruction at the hepatic venules, the large hepatic veins, the inferior vena cava, or the right atrium. Orthotopic liver transplant should be considered for patients with fulminant and chronic forms of the syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourteen patients received 15 orthot...
