While liver transplantation has become a standard therapy for life-threatening alcohol related cirrhosis, LT as a treatment for severe alcoholic hepatitis has remained a taboo owing to concerns about the limited organ supply and the risk that the AH liver recipient will return to harmful drinking. The adoption of a six-month abstinence requirement (the so-called ‘six-month rule’) by many centres made AH a contraindication to LT.

Presence of pan-resistant organisms in patients with cystic fibrosis potentially impacts mortality after lung transplant. We aimed to study LT mortality in CF patients with and without pan-resistant infection. ISHLT Thoracic Transplant Registry was used to identify adults with CF, first-time, bilateral LT from 1991-2015.

 Live kidney donation by marijuana smokers seems safe for donors and recipients, according to the results of a new study published in Clinical Kidney Journal. The study also finds no difference in post-operative kidney function between patients who received kidneys from pot smokers and those who received kidneys from donors who did not use marijuana. The National Kidney Registry recommendations exclude marijuana users and other substance abusers from donating kidneys. Transplant centers may refuse donors who have used marijuana in the past. Before this study, though, there were no studies investigating the effect marijuana use may have on transplant outcomes.

For many patients with end‐stage kidney disease, transplantation improves survival and quality of life compared to dialysis. However, complications and side‐effects in kidney transplant recipients can limit their ability to participate in activities of daily living including work, study and recreational activities. The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics, content and psychometric properties of the outcome measures used to assess life participation in kidney transplant recipients.

Transplantation
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis-related cirrhosis has become one of the most common indications for liver transplantation, particularly in candidates older than 65 years. Typically, NASH candidates have concurrent obesity, metabolic, and cardiovascular risks, which directly impact patient evaluation and selection, waitlist morbidity and mortality, and eventually posttransplant outcomes. The purpose of these guidelines is to highlight specific features commonly observed in NASH candidates and strategies to optimize pretransplant evaluation and waitlist survival.
