The Collaborative Innovation and Improvement Network (COIIN) is seeking kidney transplant programs to apply as pilot test participants to employ and study effective practices to promote utilization of deceased donor kidneys, as well as alternative monitoring of transplant outcomes. The overall aim of the project is to increase transplantation, with a particular focus on utilization of deceased donor kidneys with a KDPI score greater than 50 percent.

Cureus, in collaboration with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation and Donate Life America, is proud to introduce the first Optimization Strategies for Organ Donation and Utilization publishing competition, with the objective to improve rates of organ donation and transplantation. They invite original articles, clinical outcome studies, organization improvement reports, and performance gap analyses that examine organ donation rates and organ utilization rates. The winner of this competition will be selected by general acclaim of the medical community using Cureus SIQ crowdsourcing technology and will be rewarded with a cash prize.

Imagine your heart can no longer pump enough blood to your vital organs. Even minimal exercise tires you out, and you're often short of breath when lying flat. Your lungs are accumulating fluid. Your kidneys and liver are impaired. You've been hospitalized and started on an intravenous drug that improves your heart's ability to contract. It has helped, but it is not a long-term solution. You need a new heart.

The review analyzes the current biomarkers used in monitoring pancreas transplant, from the simple and time-tested, to more sophisticated, including markers of allo- and autoimmunity, that are likely to play a larger role in future studies.

With less ischemia, improved donor selection and controlled procedures, living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) might lead to less HLA donor-specific antibody (DSA) formation or fewer adverse outcomes than deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT). Using the multicenter A2ALL (Adult-to-Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation Cohort Study) biorepository, we compared the incidence and outcomes of preformed and de novo DSAs between LDLT and DDLT. In total, 129 LDLT and 66 DDLT recipients were identified as having serial samples.

There is an increased risk of acute rejection (AR) in human immunodeficiency virus–positive (HIV+) kidney transplant (KT) recipients. Induction immunosuppression is standard of care for those at high risk of AR; however, use in HIV+ patients is controversial, given fears of increased infection rates. We sought to compare clinical outcomes between HIV+ KT recipients who were treated with (i) anti–thymocyte globulin (ATG), (ii) IL-2 receptor blocker, and (iii) no induction.

The optimal timing of pregnancy after kidney transplantation remains uncertain. We determined the risk of allograft failure among women who became pregnant within the first 3 posttransplant years. Among 21 814 women aged 15–45 years who received a first kidney-only transplant between 1990 and 2010 captured in the United States Renal Data System, n = 729 pregnancies were identified using Medicare claims.
