Received: 07 November 2022;  Published: 14 March 2023;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2301177

Abstract

Lung transplant (LTx) survival and quality of life have been steadily improving, partially from changes in candidate selection for transplantation. There are well-known high-risk factors that lead to poor LTx outcomes, which may be referred to as ‘accounted’ risks. However, there are also other ‘una [...]

Non-Renal Factors Associated with Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplant in Patients with End-Stage Liver Disease and Stage 3-5 Chronic Kidney Disease Not Requiring Dialysis

Received: 19 August 2022;  Published: 21 February 2023;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2301175

Abstract

We aimed to identify the non-renal risk factors for simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) vs. liver transplantation alone (LTA) in end-stage liver disease (ESLD) patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min, not on dialysis. Using organ procurement and transplan [...]

Lung Transplantation from A Donor with Previous SARS-CoV-2 Infection: 1-Year Outcomes

Received: 25 October 2022;  Published: 06 January 2023;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2301173

Abstract

Few reports have described successful lung transplantation from a donor with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and outcomes beyond 3 to 6 months remain unknown. After weighing the urgency and life-saving benefits of lung transplantation against the risk of viral transmission, we successfully perfor [...]
