Successful donation after cardiac death liver transplants with prolonged warm ischemia time using normothermic regional perfusion

Riccardo De Carlis, Stefano Di Sandro, Andrea Lauterio, Fabio Ferla, Antonio Dell'Acqua, Marinella Zanierato, Luciano De Carlis – 26 October 2016 – The role of donation after cardiac death (DCD) in expanding the donor pool is mainly limited by the incidence of primary nonfunction (PNF) and ischemia‐related complications. Even greater concern exists toward uncontrolled DCD, which represents the largest potential pool of DCD donors.

Development and validation of a mathematical equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate in cirrhosis: The royal free hospital cirrhosis glomerular filtration rate

Maria Kalafateli, Fred Wickham, Maria Burniston, Evangelos Cholongitas, Eleni Theocharidou, Matteo Garcovich, James O'Beirne, Rachel Westbrook, Gioacchino Leandro, Andrew K. Burroughs, Emmanuel A. Tsochatzis – 25 October 2016 – Current expressions based on serum creatinine concentration overestimate kidney function in cirrhosis, leading to significant differences between “true” and calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
