Gender Affects the Association Between Serum Creatinine Levels and Clinical Response to Terlipressin in Patients with Hepatorenal Syndrome Type of Acute Kidney Injury
*Purpose: Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS)-acute kidney injury (AKI) is a rare and serious complication of cirrhosis, with serum creatinine (SCr) used diagnostically. Women generally have less…2022 American Transplant Congress
Early Mortality After Liver Transplant is Associated with Pre-Transplant Alterations in Monocyte Phenotype and Gene Expression
*Purpose: Persistence of pre-liver transplant (LT) immune dysfunction (immune frailty) significantly increases post-LT morbidity and mortality. We have identified a pre-LT biomarker panel, the liver…2022 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplant Alone Recipients with Advanced Liver Disease Have Similar Outcomes to Those without Advanced Liver Disease
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY
*Purpose: The prevalence of concomitant liver disease (CLD) in patients with ESRD is reported to be 7-40%. Safety of kidney transplant alone (KTA) in those…2022 American Transplant Congress
Galectin-3 Discriminates Patients with Advanced Cirrhosis and Predicts Post-Liver Transplant Infectious Complications
*Purpose: An increased demand for liver transplantation (LT) prevails. Galectin-3 is a lectin implicated in inflammation, immunoregulation, and liver fibrosis. In this study we assessed…2022 American Transplant Congress
Patient-Reported Physical Function Correlates with Liver Frailty Index and 4-Meter Gait Speed in Patients with Cirrhosis
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL
*Purpose: Frailty is highly prevalent in patients with end-stage liver disease and strongly predicts waitlist and post-transplant mortality. The Liver Frailty Index (LFI) and 4-meter…2022 American Transplant Congress
Higher Baseline Serum Creatinine Levels AreAssociated with an Increased Incidence of Renal Replacement Therapy in Patients with Hepatorenal Syndrome Type 1 on the Liver Transplant Waitlist
*Purpose: Pretransplant and posttransplant renal replacement therapy (RRT) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in liver transplant recipients, including those with Hepatorenal syndrome type…2022 American Transplant Congress
Escalating Waitlist Mortality Above MELD 40: A Rationale to Uncap MELD 3.0?
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA
*Purpose: MELD 3.0 is a recently proposed model that improves upon MELD-Na, incorporating sex and albumin as additional variables, updating existing coefficients and adding relevant…2022 American Transplant Congress
Identifying Predictors of Pediatric Heart Only versus Combined Heart-Liver Transplantation
Stanford University, Stanford, CA
*Purpose: A standardized protocol to identify which patients with Fontan failure require combined heart liver transplant (cHLT) versus isolated heart transplant (HT) has not yet…2022 American Transplant Congress
Vitamin D Deficiency in Liver Transplant Recipients
1Transplant Institute, Tampa General Hospital, Tampa, FL, 2University of South Florida, Tampa, FL
*Purpose: Patients with chronic liver disease are at risk of nutritional deficiency. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of vitamin D…2022 American Transplant Congress
Galectin-3 Expression in Autoimmune Hepatitis
*Purpose: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is characterized by chronic inflammation in which healthy liver cells are targeted by one’s immune system. The persistent inflammatory milieu can…
