Transplantation Journal Podcast Interview - BK Virus Guidelines
Check out today's podcast! Stefan Tullius, the incoming Editor-in-Chief of Transplantation Journals, interviews two esteemed experts about the recent publication of the 2nd International Consensus Guidelines on the Management of BK Polyomavirus in Kidney Transplantation. Camille Kotton, the Clinical Director of Transplant and Immunocompromised Host Infectious Diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Hans Hirsch, the research group leader of Immunology and Infectious Diseases at University Hospital Basel, join the discussion. They explore the latest recommendations, risk factors, and screening strategies to address this significant challenge in kidney transplantation.

Circulating Donor Lung-specific Exosome Profiles Enable Noninvasive Monitoring of Acute Rejection in a Rodent Orthotopic Lung Transplantation Model
There is a critical need for development of biomarkers to noninvasively monitor for lung transplant rejection. We investigated the potential of circulating donor lung-specific exosome profiles for time-sensitive diagnosis of acute rejection in a rat orthotopic lung transplant model.
Improved Organ Utilization and Better Transplant Outcomes With In Situ Normothermic Regional Perfusion in Controlled Donation After Circulatory Death
We evaluated whether the use of normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) was associated with increased organ recovery and improved transplant outcomes from controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD).
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy After Renal Transplantation: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with end stage renal disease undergoing renal replacement is linked to an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. Dialysis does not completely prevent or correct this abnormality, and the evidence for kidney transplantation (KT) varies. This analysis aims to explore the relationship between KT and LVH.
