Metabolic Complications in Liver Transplantation Recipients: How We Can Optimize Long‐Term Survival

Amirhossein Azhie, Priya Sheth, Ahmed Hammad, Minna Woo, Mamatha Bhat – 23 June 2021 – Liver transplantation (LT) recipients have experienced a significant improvement in short‐term survival during the past 3 decades attributed to advancements in surgical techniques, perioperative management, and effective immunosuppressive regimens. However, long‐term survival is affected by a high incidence of metabolic disorders and their consequences, including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and malignancies.

Our aim was to assess the evolution and risk factors of AF after pLT.

On the Mechanisms of Biliary Flux

Nachiket Vartak, Dirk Drasdo, Fabian Geisler, Tohru Itoh, Ronald P.J.Oude Elferink, Stan F.J. Graaf, John Chiang, Verena Keitel, Michael Trauner, Peter Jansen, Jan G. Hengstler – 22 June 2021 – Since the late 1950s, transport of bile in the liver has been described by the “osmotic concept,” according to which bile flows into the canaliculi toward the ducts, countercurrent to the blood flow in the sinusoids. However, because of the small size of canaliculi, it was so far impossible to observe, let alone to quantify this process.
