Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) of liver transplant recipients (LDLT) more than 10 years post-transplant and identify factors affecting their QOL.
- - Based on data from 78 LDLT patients, results showed that, compared to the general population, LDLT recipients had significantly lower mental health scores but higher scores in vitality, functional, social, physical, and emotional aspects.
- - Overall, LDLT recipients' QOL is comparable to the general population over a decade after transplantation, with the exception of the mental health domain, which remains lower.
Purpose: To evaluate the renal function and the renal histological alterations through the stereology and morphometrics in rats submitted to the natural process of aging.
Methods: Seventy two Wistar rats, divided in six groups. Each group was sacrificed in a different age: 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months.
Objective: To compare the cost of cadaveric liver transplantation with adult-adult right hepatic lobe living-donor transplantation.
Method: Total cost of 25 cadaveric liver transplantations and 22 adult-adult right hepatic lobe living-donor transplantations was considered from the day of hospital admission until the day of discharge. Professional fees and expenses due to post-transplant complications and donor follow-up were not included.
