Transplantation - December 2021 Issue

JUST RELEASED - TRANSPLANTATION - DECEMBER ISSUE

This issue is full of infection, mostly viruses of course. SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and breakthrough disease, but also Parainfluenza, metapneumovirus, Hepatitis C, Norovirus and the RNA Virome are explored. A Systematic Review examines the way we report infection in clinical trials. Lung transplanters will find a series of useful papers: from trends in outcome, fungal prophylaxis, ex-vivo perfusion and CLAD. Risk factors for GVHD after Liver transplantation are presented and some thoughtful papers examine costs of retrieval. There is much for your holiday reading.

Women in Donation Event

Women in Transplantation (WIT) programming and events have covered many critical issues over the last decade, including a focus on gender in careers in transplantation.

This will be the first WIT event related to the careers of women specifically involved in donation. Presentations will highlight their career trajectories (e.g., how they became interested in the field, how it fits into their larger view of their work and essential issues that they think are important.)

This virtual event will include an overview of the Women in Transplantation initiative and several short presentations from Women in Donation (personal stories about experiences, challenges, opportunities), followed by open discussion and Q and A.

TTS-ILTS Paired Transplant Centers Program

The TTS-ILTS Paired Transplant Centers Program is now accepting applications!

The TTS-ILTS Paired Transplant Centers Program is a collaboration between The Transplantation Society (TTS) and the International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS) supporting new liver transplant programs in emerging economies.

Application Deadline: January 1st, 2022

WHO

An experienced transplant center in the developed world is paired with an emerging transplant center to facilitate vital multidisciplinary training and an exchange of knowledge and expertise.

WHY

The project aims to benefit both centers. The supporting center (SC) is involved in global health, and promotes ethical and competent transplantation in regions of the world with limited or no current access to transplantation. The emerging center (EC), connects with a multidisciplinary team of experts in transplantation from a world-leading center.

STEPS

Progressive steps associated with increasing funding as the partnership between the EC and SC grows.

GOAL

The ultimate goal is for Level 3 centers to graduate and become true local centers of excellence for regional training and support.

AI assists with kidney transplant follow-through

Need for Liver Transplants Rising Sharply in Seniors

Nov. 17 - Over the past 2 decades, the need for liver transplants more than doubled among older folks, with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) becoming the number one indication for transplantation during this time, a researcher said.

A Potential Cause of Post-Transplant Diabetes in Male Kidney Recipients

Nov. 16 - Low levels of androgen hormone are associated with the development of post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in men who received kidney transplants– modifiable risk factor which can prevent the development of the disease, according to research findings published in Diabetes Care.

Increased Heart Rate Found to Be Associated With Kidney Function Declines in Transplant Recipients

Nov. 16 - Investigators found that increased heart rate correlated with a decline in the ability for the kidneys to function at 48 weeks after a patient receives a kidney transplant, according to results presented at the 2021 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions.

Liver transplant outcomes worse for nonoverweight NAFLD patients

Nov. 16 - Nonoverweight patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) cirrhosis who are on the transplant wait list have worse pre- and post-liver transplant (LT) outcomes, according to a study presented at The Liver Meeting, the annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.

Kidney Transplants Facilitated with Voucher-Based Kidney Donation

Nov. 16 - Vouchers for future kidney transplant offer a mechanism to overcome the chronological incompatibility that occurs when the ideal time for the donor to give the kidney differs from the time when the intended recipient needs the kidney. Vouchers allow potential donors to donate a kidney and secure a voucher for their intended recipient that can be redeemed, with the kidney of a different donor, if needed in the future.
