Two patients died after 90 days post-LT due to post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders. One patient required re-LT due to hepatic artery thrombosis. Table 2 describes the outcomes of participants in the study. Table 2 Outcomes of biliary atresia children with end-stage liver disease who ...
The IFLT-DBD (Ischemia-free Transplantation of Livers from Donors after Brain Death) trial was designed to assess whether the use of IFLT, compared to CLT using static cold storage, can reduce complications related to graft IRI in patients with end-stage liver disease. Patients and methods Stu...

BACKGROUND:The prognosis of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) remains Poor. This retrospective study from a single center in China aimed to develop a nomogram to predict one-year mortality in patients with ESRD on HD. MA
oxidative stress, and inflammatory processes66. On the other hand, acute/chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal failure can reduce AGE clearance. Consequently, glomerular and tubular cells are exposed to potentially harmful AGEs for extended periods of time owing to the lower rates of glomerular...

(a,b) Regulatory T cells (Tregs) of healthy individuals and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with or without renal replacement therapy (RRT) were expanded using allogeneic mature monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) at a ratio of 1:1 in the presence of recombinant human interleukin...
(CHOP) as first-line chemotherapy in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is still unsatisfactory.1,2 Because the poor outcome of PTCL is mainly associated with relapse after treatment, an exact assessment of tumor viability after treatment is essential for predicting treatment failure ...
