Article Synopsis
- The study highlights that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious issue after liver transplantation (LT) and may be influenced by cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections.
- A retrospective analysis of 745 LT patients showed that those with a history of CMV infection had notably lower estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) compared to those without CMV, indicating worse renal function over time.
- The findings suggest that CMV infection negatively impacts kidney health post-transplant, but the underlying mechanisms require further investigation.

Open simultaneous resection of the primary and liver metastases is well described, but there is not much evidence for the increasing use of the minimally invasive approach.

Common symptoms include postprandial abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. While laparoscopic MAL division has long been considered the procedure of choice, robotic-assisted procedures have been increasingly used since their introduction.
