Background: In November 2023, in the context of the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the Organization National de Transplante organized a global summit discussing global action in transplantation for the next decade. This article reports the recommendations supporting the need to prioritize transplantation in healthcare systems.
Methods: The working group investigated how transplantation addresses noncommunicable disease mortality, particularly related to kidney and liver disease.
Article Synopsis
- * Analysis showed that while LDL-cholesterol reductions over time were similar for both sexes, a higher percentage of males had existing cardiovascular disease both at enrollment and during follow-up compared to females.
- * Notably, males experienced their first ASCVD event at a median age of 50.6 years, significantly earlier than females, who had their first event at a median age of 61.6 years, highlighting important sex-related differences in
Background Aims: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) may reoccur following liver transplantation (LT) and the diagnosis established once imaging studies demonstrate the diagnostic cholangiographic appearance. To evaluate whether the development of recurrent PSC (rPSC) is associated with cholestasis soon after LT, we studied whether changes in hepatic biochemistry within the first 12 months were linked with the development of rPSC and graft loss.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of 158 transplant recipients with PSC in Canada, and 549 PSC transplant recipients from the United Kingdom.
