Predicting Renal Recovery After Liver Transplant With Severe Pretransplant Sub-Acute Kidney Injury: The Impact of Warm Ischemic Time
Hepatology, Transplant Surgery and Nephrology, Univ. Colorado, Aurora, CO.
Identification of which liver transplant candidates with severe kidney injury can have full recovery of renal function after liver only transplant is difficult. Avoiding unnecessary…2015 American Transplant Congress
Live Donor Vs Deceased Donor Liver Transplantation Results in Identical Outcome in Recipients With Acute Liver Failure – An Important Choice for Critical Ill Patients
Multi Organ Transplant Program, Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Introduction: Live donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is a valid alternative to deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) in patients suffering from acute liver failure (ALF). Rapid…2015 American Transplant Congress
Quantifying Risk of ESRD in Live Kidney Donors
