Henry C. Lin, Luis Alvarez, Greggy Laroche, Hector Melin‐Aldana, Kim Pfeifer, Kathleen Schwarz, Peter F. Whitington, Estella M. Alonso, Udeme D. Ekong – 23 September 2013 – Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) results from recessive mutations in the adenosine triphosphate–binding cassette B11 gene, which encodes for bile salt export pump (BSEP). Liver transplantation (LT) is offered to PFIC2 patients with end‐stage liver disease.

Michel Blé, Victoria Aguilera, Angel Rubín, María García‐Eliz, Carmen Vinaixa, Martín Prieto, Marina Berenguer – 23 September 2013 – Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is associated with renal complications. We aimed to determine whether a sustained virological response (SVR) was associated with improvements in renal function (RF) in liver transplant (LT) recipients treated for HCV. Changes in RF were compared 1, 3, and 5 years after therapy as a function of the stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) before treatment (BT).

Monica A. Konerman, Shruti H. Mehta, Catherine G. Sutcliffe, Trang Vu, Yvonne Higgins, Michael S. Torbenson, Richard D. Moore, David L. Thomas, Mark S. Sulkowski – 20 September 2013 – Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection is associated with progressive liver disease. However, the rate of progression is variable and the ability to differentiate patients with stable versus progressive HCV disease is limited. The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of and risk factors for fibrosis progression in a prospective cohort of coinfected patients.
