Echo expands number of donor hearts

Stress echocardiography can identify healthy donor hearts that would historically have been rejected because of the patient's age or transient left ventricular dysfunction, Italian researchers said.

Aging hepatitis C population escalates demand for liver transplantation
ScienceDaily
Share
New research reveals that the greatest demand for liver transplantation due to hepatitis C (HCV)-related liver disease occurs among Americans born between 1941-1960. Findings in the December issue of Liver Transplantation suggest that continuing increased demand for transplantation is driven by the development of liver cancer in baby boomers with HCV, but that the demand may decrease as patients born in this time period continue to grow older.

Genetic testing can be a cost-effective way to increase the number of living related donor transplants. Mutational analysis may help direct long-term treatment plans, including pre-operative screening of potential kidney transplant recipients and living related donors.

New surgical technique for pediatric en-bloc kidney and pancreas transplantation: The pancreas piggy-back
Transplant International (subscription required)
Share
Combined pancreas and kidney transplantation is the therapy of choice for type I diabetes patients with associated end-stage renal disease. To counterbalance increasing waiting lists, there is a clear need to extend the organ donor pool. Although results following simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK) using pediatric organs are encouraging, there is still reluctance in accepting them. In this article, a novel technique using a "piggy-back" implantation of the pancreas onto the conduits of en-bloc grafted kidneys, performed in two consecutive cases, is presented.

Transplant program biorepository poised to promote research

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients suffering end-stage renal disease because it provides better quantity and quality of life than other means of renal replacement therapy.
Despite tremendous advances in the medical and surgical management of these patients, the short- and long-term success of this procedure is still not ideal. Therefore, the research and clinical transplant communities are engaged in a constant effort to further understand and learn the underlying biological mechanisms that preclude the desired outcomes.

Successful transplantation of reduced-sized rat alcoholic fatty livers made possible by mobilization of host stem cells
American Journal of Transplantation (subscription required)
Share
In a recent study, livers from Lewis rats fed with 7 percent alcohol for 5 weeks were used for transplantation. Reduced sized (50 percent) livers or whole livers were transplanted into normal DA recipients, which, in this strain combination, survive indefinitely when the donor has not been fed alcohol. However, none of the rats survived a whole fatty liver transplant while six of seven recipients of reduced sized alcoholic liver grafts survived long term. SDF-1 and HGF were significantly increased in reduced size liver grafts compared to whole liver grafts.

Donor polymorphisms of toll-like receptor 4 associated with graft failure in liver transplant
Liver Transplantation (subscription required)
Share
There have been many reports showing significant associations between recipient genetic variants and allograft outcomes, including acute rejection and graft failure, but less is known about the contribution of the donor genotype. Researchers analyzed 37 single-nucleotide polymorphisms within the toll-like receptor 4 gene from deceased donor liver allografts transplanted into 738 recipients to determine their effects on liver graft failure.
