Standardizing the histological assessment of late posttransplantation biopsies from pediatric liver allograft recipients

Stefan G. Hübscher, Sandy Feng, Annette S. H. Gouw, Hironori Haga, Hyo Jeong Kang, Deirdre A. Kelly, Mina Komuta, Andrew Lesniak, Benjamin A. Popp, Henkjan J. Verkade, Eunsil Yu, Anthony J. Demetris – 15 April 2022 – Excellent short‐term survival after pediatric liver transplantation (LT) has shifted attention toward the optimization of long‐term outcomes. Despite considerable progress in imaging and other noninvasive modalities, liver biopsies continue to be required to monitor allograft health and to titrate immunosuppression.

Body fat composition determines outcomes before and after liver transplantation in patients with cirrhosis

Cornelius Engelmann, Niklas F. Aehling, Stefan Schob, Ines Nonnenmacher, Luise Handmann, Jane Macnaughtan, Adam Herber, Alexey Surov, Thorsten Kaiser, Timm Denecke, Rajiv Jalan, Daniel Seehofer, Michael Moche, Thomas Berg – 13 April 2022 – Cachexia occurs in late stages of liver cirrhosis, and a low‐fat mass is potentially associated with poor outcome. This study compared different computed tomography (CT)–derived fat parameters with respect to its prognostic impact on the development of complications and death before and after liver transplantation.
