Liver transplants rarely experience antibody-mediated rejection, and it has been suggested that a liver transplant can protect the kidney if a simultaneous transplant is performed. In this single-center study, patients who received a simultaneous liver-kidney transplant had a higher risk of acute rejection, but similar renal function and patient and graft survival, whether or not […]

Renal transplantation for carefully selected HIV-positive patients has become well-accepted over the last decade. There remain concerns about the risk of overimmunosuppression in this group, due to their pre-existing immunodeficiency due to HIV infection. In this US registry study, HIV-positive patients actually had a higher risk of acute rejection than HIV-negative recipients, but this increased […]

In the following study, researchers measured the association of transplant patients’ personality, depression, and quality of life with medication adherence in a cross-sectional group of kidney and liver transplant recipients greater than 1 year post-transplant.86 kidney and 50 liver transplant patients completed the surveys. Results found kidney transplant patients who exhibited “low openness” scores were […]

The purpose of the following investigation was to assess interest in mental health services among parents of adolescent solid organ transplant recipients and the relationship between parent perceived need for mental health services and patient health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Sixty-three parents rated interest in receiving 10 mental health services, and patient HRQOL ratings were […]

In the following study, researchers sought to document the frequency of care complexity in liver transplant candidates, and its association with mood disturbance and poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Patients from three European hospitals, were assessed for early bio-psychosocial health risks and needs (INTERMED tool), and with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). […]

Influenza vaccine is recommended for transplant recipients annually. There are several types of influenza vaccines on the market now including standard intramuscular, adjuvanted intramuscular and intradermal. An advantage of giving flu vaccine intradermally is to take advantage of the abundant Langerhans/dendritic cells at the site that act as potent antigen presenting cells. Baluch et al. […]

Transmission of infection from donor to recipient is an an inherent risk in transplantation that can likely never be completely eliminated. This is true even in living donation, where transmission of hepatitis C and HIV has been reported. This paper reports the results of a conference on this topic. Most significant is the fact that […]

Strongyloides is an intestinal nematode that is endemic in tropical areas. Most infected persons are asymptomatic. However, in immunocompromised, the infection can become disseminated and fatal. Infected organ donors can transmit Strongyloides to recipients and this has been described in the past. This report describes three organ recipients who were diagnosed with Strongyloides. Serum from […]
