Fast-Track Liver Transplantation: Six-year Prospective Cohort Study with an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol.

Introduction: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been shown to facilitate discharge, decrease length of stay, improve outcomes and reduce costs. We used this concept to design a comprehensive fast-track pathway (OR-to-discharge) before starting our liver transplant activity and then applied this protocol prospectively to every patient undergoing liver transplantation at our institution, monitoring the results periodically. We now report our first six years results.

Peritoneal dialysis in incident patients with primary glomerulonephritis. Results of a 20-year multicenter registry study.

Background And Objectives: Glomerulonephritis (GN) is one of the main causes of chronic terminal kidney disease; however, few studies assess its prognosis in dialysis. We analyze the survival and characteristics of patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) with primary GN (PGN), and compare their results with other kidney patients.

Methods: This prospective observational study took place from 1995 to 2014.
