Different Prognostic Impact of Liver Transplantation According to Liver Disease Etiologies
Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI
*Purpose: Disease specific background is not taken into consideration in the MELD-Na score based liver transplant (LT) allocation system. We hypothesized that optimal timing of…2020 American Transplant Congress
Clinical and Laboratory Characteristics of Early and Late-Onset Cytomegalovirus Infection Following Universal Prophylaxis in Kidney Transplant Recipients
University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
*Purpose: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most important viral infection in organ recipients and can cause life-threatening infections, compromising long-term graft function. Most transplant centers use…2020 American Transplant Congress
