Pilot Study on Safety and Feasibility of Complete Meal Replacement in Liver Transplant Recipients and Potential Donors
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) and hepatic steatosis (HS) are potential long-term complications after liver transplantation (LT). Post-LT caloric intake normalizes which can result in obesity.…2015 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma Receiving a Donation After Cardiac Death Liver Graft
Background: Recent data suggests that patients with Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who receive a donation after cardiac death (DCD) graft have inferior graft and patient survival…2015 American Transplant Congress
Arterial Blood Pressure at Time of Liver Transplant (LT) Evaluation Correlates With Kidney Biopsy Findings in LT Candidates With Renal Dysfunction

The Significant Association Between the Functional Polymorphism (Rs3761548) of Foxp3 Gene and the Severity of Acute Cellular Rejection in Liver Transplantation
Department of Gastroenterological and Transplant Surgery, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan.
Aim- Acute cellular rejection (ACR) accounts for 15-25% of graft failure in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). T regulatory cells (Treg) play an important role…2015 American Transplant Congress
Predictors of Time to Recurrence and Mortality Associated With Recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Liver Transplantation
Transplantation, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.
Background: While recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplantation (LT) portends a poor prognosis, adjuvant therapy may prolong survival. We sought to identify factors that…2015 American Transplant Congress
Geographic Variation in Listing Practices Represents Competetive Behaviors and Access to Care Rather Than Differences in Demand for Liver Transplantation
Purpose: This study evaluates whether program and patient demographics influence liver transplant listing practices.Methods:2013 liver waiting list and transplant (Tx) variables, US Census socioeconomic variables,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Sofosbuvir-Based Therapy for Hepatitis C Recurrence Post Liver Transplantation
