Implications of opioid use in living kidney donors for key outcomes, including readmission rates after nephrectomy, are unknown. We integrated Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients data with records from a nationwide pharmacy claims warehouse and administrative records from an academic hospital consortium to quantify predonation prescription opioid use and postdonation readmission events.

Health Economics
How donor organs are allocated for transplant can affect their scarcity. In 2008, Israel’s Parliament passed an Organ TransplantationLaw granting priority on organ donor waiting lists to individuals who had previously registered as organ donors. Beginning in No-vember 2010, public awareness campaigns advertised the priority policy to the public. Since April 2012, priority has been added tothe routine medical criteria in organ allocation decisions. We evaluate the introductio n of prio rity for registered organ donors usingIsraeli data on organ donor registration from 1992 to 2013.

Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) with a pretransplant malignancy (PTM) are at increased risk for cancer recurrence. However, it is unclear whether differences in survival and incidence of posttransplant de novo malignancies exist between recipients with PTM and those without PTM. We designed a systematic review to synthesize all available evidence assessing these outcomes.

Kidney International
Determining candidacy for live kidney donation among obese individuals remains challenging. Among healthy non-donors, body mass index (BMI) above 30 is associated with a 16% increase in risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, the impact on the ESRD risk attributable to donation and living with only one kidney remains unknown.

Liver Transplantation
Improvements in the management of patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) have resulted in a significant increase in survival in recent years. Cardiac disease is now the leading cause of early mortality, and the stress of major surgery, hemodynamic shifts, and the possibilities of hemorrhage or reperfusion syndrome require the recipient to have good baseline cardiac function.
