Burcin Ekser, Richard S. Mangus, Chandrashekhar A. Kubal, John A. Powelson, Jonathan A. Fridell, William C. Goggins – 19 September 2017 – The positive impact of delayed kidney transplantation (KT) on patient survival for combined liver‐kidney transplantation (CLKT) has already been demonstrated by our group. The purpose of this study is to identify whether the quality of the kidneys (based on kidney donor profile index [KDPI]) or the delayed approach KT contributes to improved patient survival.

Sanyal, Huiping Zhou – 19 September 2017 – Impaired intestinal barrier function promotes the progression of various liver diseases, including cholestatic liver diseases. The close association of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) with inflammatory bowel disease highlights the importance of the gut‐liver axis.

Dana Tedesco, Arash Grakoui – 19 September 2017 – The liver participates in a multitude of metabolic functions that are critical for sustaining human life. Despite constant encounters with antigenic‐rich intestinal blood, oxidative stress, and metabolic intermediates, there is no appreciable immune response. Interestingly, patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation benefit from a high rate of graft acceptance in comparison to other solid organ transplant recipients.

Merion – 19 September 2017 – Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is a technically demanding endeavor, requiring command of the complex anatomy of partial liver grafts. We examined the influence of anatomic variation and reconstruction techniques on surgical outcomes and graft survival in the 9‐center Adult‐to‐Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation Cohort Study (A2ALL).
