The Third International Workshop on Clinical Tolerance was held in Stanford, California, September 8‐9, 2017. This is a summary of Workshop presentations of clinical trials designed to withdraw or minimize immunosuppressive (IS) drugs in kidney and liver transplant patients without subsequent evidence of rejection. All clinical protocols had in common the use of donor or recipient cell therapy combined with organ transplantation.

To date, the financial burden of biliary strictures (BS) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has remained largely unassessed. This study sought to approximate perioperative costs associated with early BS and delineate where in the hospital these costs are incurred.

Through the UPMC Complex CareConnect™ program, UPMC extends its expertise across the country.
Working with partner hospitals, UPMC coordinates living donor liver transplant surgery at UPMC — and pre-and
post-surgery care at the partner hospital. By accepting the most complex cases, UPMC is bringing more
hope to liver transplant patients.

Clinical Transplantation
Depressive symptoms and frailty are each independently associated with morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. We hypothesized that having both depressive symptoms and frailty would be synergistic and worse than the independent effect of each. In a multi‐center cohort study of 773 KT recipients, we measured the Fried frailty phenotype and the modified 18‐question Center for Epidemiologic Studies‐Depression Scale (CES‐D).

While uterus transplantation is still in the experimental stage, it has promising potential as a treatment for women with absolute uterine factor infertility based on the childbirths from living donor trials conducted in Sweden and the United States. We report the main characteristics and perioperative and postoperative courses of both recipients and donors following four deceased donor and five living donor uterus transplantations.

The model for end-stage liver disease-sodium (MELD-Na) score was introduced for liver allocation in January 2016. We evaluated the effects of liver allocation, based on MELD-Na score, on waitlist and post-transplant outcomes.

A substantial proportion of pediatric liver transplant recipients develop subclinical chronic allograft injury. We studied whether there are distinct patterns of injury based on histopathology features and identified associated immunological profiles.

 Which inferred preference for organ donation is stronger: when the decision is made by mandate or under automatic default? The question is important because families can — and frequently do — veto the organ donation decisions made by their deceased relatives. The results of a new study provide fresh insight into the answer. Currently, there is a large gap between the number of people needing organ donation and the number of donated organs.

Guidelines do not recommend transplanting hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected livers into HCV-uninfected recipients. Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) can be used to treat donor-derived HCV infection. However the added cost of DAA therapy is a barrier. We evaluated the cost effectiveness of transplanting HCV-positive livers into HCV-negative patients with preemptive DAA therapy.

Persistent hepatitis E virus genotype 3 (HEV G3) infections affect solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, but the burden in these cohorts in the United Kingdom is unknown. We established an audit to determine the point prevalence of HEV viremia in SOT and HSCT patients in the United Kingdom and compare different testing approaches to inform screening strategies.
