Over the long-term, graft survival may be impacted by factors such as declining adherence, which may be affected by complex dosing regimens and neurotoxicities. Studies show a direct correlation between rejection losses and nonadherence, which is also proven to increase over time. Review 2-year published data and see the results achieved at 2 years in de novo kidney transplant patients.

In some states, liver transplantation for alcohol‐related liver disease is covered by Medicaid only with documentation of abstinence and/or alcohol rehabilitation. Different Medicaid policies may affect distribution of LT for ALD, particularly post‐2011 as centers have adopted early LT practices. We surveyed Medicaid policies in all states actively performing LT, and linked state policies to prospectively collected national registry data on LT recipients from 2002‐2017 with ALD as primary listing diagnosis.

A previous study at Indiana University demonstrated a reduction in myocardial infarction incidence with increased frequency of cardiac catheterization in liver transplant candidates. A strict protocol for performing CATH based upon predefined risk factors, rather than non‐invasive testing alone, was applied to a subgroup from that study. CATH was followed by percutaneous coronary intervention in cases of significant coronary artery disease. The current study applies this screening protocol to a larger cohort to assess post‐LT clinical outcomes.

Previous studies suggest that direct-acting anti-virals for the treatment of hepatitis C virus infection permits the transplantation of HCV-viremic donor organs in uninfected recipients. This opportunity may expand the donor pool. We assessed the impact of using HCV nucleic acid test–positive donor hearts on heart transplant waitlist time and transplant rate.

Decades of clinical evidence has shown that HLA-specific antibodies may lead to hyperacute antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR).
Today, ABMR remains a major challenge to successful transplantation, but detection of donor specific antibodies (DSA) is the best tool for stratifying risk. LABScreen Single Antigen Beads remain the worldwide leader for the detection of DSA.

The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation
Since lung transplantation became a viable option for cystic fibrosis lung disease, adult transplant recipients with CF have superior survival than all the other major diagnostic indications. However, among adults, recipients with CF have a younger age at transplant than other transplant recipients. Over time, the frequency and proportion of lung transplants for CF has increased for adults compared with children.
