Clinical applicability of rapid thrombelastography and functional fibrinogen thrombelastography to adult liver transplantation

Shu Yang Lu, Kenichi A. Tanaka, Ezeldeen Abuelkasem, Raymond M. Planinsic, Tetsuro Sakai – 30 May 2014 – Unlike kaolin thrombelastography (k‐TEG), the clinical utility of rapid thrombelastography (r‐TEG) and functional fibrinogen thrombelastography (FF‐TEG) has not been tested in liver transplantation (LT). These thrombelastography techniques were simultaneously performed at the time of the skin incision (the baseline) and 30 minutes after graft reperfusion (III + 30) for 27 consecutive adult LT patients.

Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (SLC10A1) deficiency: Conjugated hypercholanemia without a clear clinical phenotype

Frédéric M. Vaz, Coen C. Paulusma, Hidde Huidekoper, Minke de Ru, Cynthia Lim, Janet Koster, Kam Ho‐Mok, Albert H. Bootsma, Albert K. Groen, Frank G. Schaap, Ronald P. J. Oude Elferink, Hans R. Waterham, Ronald J.A. Wanders – 28 May 2014 – The enterohepatic circulation of bile salts is an important physiological route to recycle bile salts and ensure intestinal absorption of dietary lipids. The Na+‐taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide SLC10A1 (NTCP) plays a key role in this process as the major transporter of conjugated bile salts from the plasma compartment into the hepatocyte.
