Purpose: In living donor liver transplantation, it is preferred that the ratio of weight graft to recipient (GRWR) be higher than 0.8%. We aimed compare recipients with a GRWR greater 0.8% and those small regarding post-transplant complications outcomes.
 Materials Methods: Data patients who had undergone transplant surgery in Istinye University Hospital Liver Transplant Unit between Janua...

The present study was conducted in Internal Medicine Department of Kasr Al-Ainy Hospital and Kasr Al-Ainy Liver Transplant Unit, Cairo University between September 2014 and March 2015. This descriptive study was conducted on 48 patients divided into 2 groups: 1Group 1 (liver cirrhosis patients who are suffering from infection, 40 patients). 2Group 2 (post-liver transplant patients, 8 patients).

Transplant oncology is a relatively new field in which transplantation used to treat patients who would otherwise be unresectable. New anticancer treatment paradigms using tumor and transplant immunology cancer immunogenomics are emerging. In turn, liver (LT) has become potential therapy for certain with colorectal (CRC) metastasis, hepatocellular (HCC), cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), metastatic neu...

OBJECTIVES Acute liver failure is a life-threatening condition with sudden onset liver injury, decreased liver functions, hepatic encephalopathy, and coagulopathy in patients without preexisting liver disease. In this study, we sought to evaluate the results of liver transplant as a treatment for acute liver failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between November 1988 and March 2015, we performed 482...

Liver transplantation has indeed evolved from an experimental procedure in the early 1980s to the most effective treatment for patients with advanced liver cirrhosis and for selected patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and fulminant hepatic failure. In this new scenario, the transplant hepatologist plays a crucial clinical role, with essential duties and skills to manage the complexities enc...

Post-liver transplant patients require lifelong immunosuppressive care and monitoring. Computerized alerts can aid laboratory monitoring, but it is unknown how the distribution of alerts changes over time. We describe the changes over time of the distribution of computerized alerts for laboratory monitoring of post-liver transplant immunosuppressive care. Data were collected for post-liver tran...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common in patients awaiting liver transplantation, and both have a marked impact on the perioperative and long-term morbidity and mortality of liver transplant recipients. Consequently, we reviewed the epidemiology of AKI and CKD in patients with end-stage liver disease, highlighted strategies to prevent and manage AKI, evaluated th...

Aim: We report our experience of liver transplantation (LT) for Epitheloid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) which is an uncommon vascular tumour with intermediate malignant potential. Single centre remains limited. Methods: Retrospective review 13 LT patients between 1989 to 2019. Results: (male 6, female 7) (paediatric 5, adult 8) underwent LT. Median age at presentation was 28 years. duration from ...

AIM To evaluate use of palliative care services in patients with end-stage liver disease who do not have access to liver transplant. METHODS Evaluated were end-stage liver disease patients who were removed from the liver transplant wait-list or died prior to transplant at a single transplant center over a 2-year period. Those who were removed due to noncompliance or ultimately transplanted el...

INTRODUCTION Patients who survive the initial post-liver transplantation period face the development of chronic diseases in the long run. We studied two important complications of liver transplantation, namely: renal impairment and diabetes mellitus. METHODS We analysed adult patients followed-up for more than one year using data from our liver transplant clinical records. Long-term post-tran...
