 The term "clinical ladder" refers to a "grading structure which facilitates career progression and associated differentiation of pay by defining different levels of clinical and professional practice in nursing." Demonstration of professional development support and clinical advancement programs are hallmarks of a professional nursing practice environment and critical components of Nursing Magnet status.
The clinical ladder for Transplant Coordinators is based on the 15 standards of practice described in the Introduction to Transplant Nursing: Core Competencies. Each progressive level subsumes the knowledge, skills, and abilities of the preceding level(s).

The findings, which appear in an upcoming issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (CJASN), indicate that patients who may not have been referred for transplantation should be reevaluated.

Sarcopenia and physical deconditioning are frequent complications in patients with cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease (ESLD). They are the end result of impaired dietary intake, chronic inflammation, altered macro- and micronutrient metabolism, and low physical activity. Frailty is the end result of prolonged sarcopenia and physical deconditioning. It severely affects a patient's functional status, and presents in about 1 in 5 patients on the liver transplant (LT) waitlist.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with reduced patient survival following combined liver-kidney transplantation (LKT). The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of second-generation direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) in this difficult-to-treat population. The ANRS CO23 “Compassionate use of Protease Inhibitors in Viral C Liver Transplantation” (CUPILT) study is a prospective cohort including transplant recipients with recurrent HCV infection treated with DAAs.

The Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Assessment In Liver disease (GRAIL) better predicts kidney dysfunction at 1 year and 5 years after a liver transplant (LT) vs existing equations, according to a recent study. In the future, GRAIL may serve as an alternate equation for clinical decision making regarding LT vs simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) in patients with liver disease on a wait list.

There are no approved treatments for chronic antibody mediated rejection (ABMR). We conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) combined with rituximab (RTX) (EudraCT 2010-023746-67). Patients with transplant glomerulopathy and anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSA) were eligible.
