AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Introduction: Liver transplantation is the definitive treatment modality of the patients having an end-stage liver disease with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Discussion: The number of living donor liver transplantations has been increased because of the deceased donor organ shortage, especially in Asian countries.
Conclusion: Reports of different clinics about the postoperative course and tumor recurrence rates comparing living donor versus deceased donor liver transplantations, besides patient selection criteria, are reviewed along with our clinic's experiences.

Transplant 101: Helping Patients Navigate the Complexity of the Kidney Transplant Waitlist.

Patients in need of a kidney transplant have the option of receiving a kidney from a living donor or a deceased donor. Patients in the United States who do not have an available living donor typically wait on the deceased donor waiting list for an average of three to five years, although some patients may wait longer. The waiting list is very complex and intended to allocate kidneys in a fair and equitable manner.

The efficiency of DNA repair means that most known classes of lesion have a half-life of minutes to hours, but the extent to which DNA damage can persist for longer durations remains unknown. Here, using high-resolution phylogenetic trees from 89 donors, we identified mutations arising from 818 DNA lesions that persisted across multiple cell cycles in normal human stem cells from blood, liver and bronchial epithelium.

Although living donor liver transplantation has evolved, small-for-size syndrome remains a feared complication. Achieving optimal outflow for the graft with limited donor risk is possible with an experienced team and different techniques. Here we describe the technical aspects of living donor liver transplantation using a right lobe graft, including the different types of grafts, venous reconstructions and the importance of preoperative workup.

Transplantation Center, Departments of Medicine and Surgery, Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
Introduction: Approximately 50% of patients with C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and primary immune complex-mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) reach kidney failure 10 years after diagnosis. Because these patients are generally young, the majority will be listed for kidney transplantation (KTx). However, reported outcomes in patients transplanted for C3G and IC-MPGN are heterogeneous and conflicting, because they are mainly based on retrospective monocentric studies.

>From the Department of Nephrology, Toho University Faculty of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan; and the Department of Urology, Ryukyu University, Okinawa, Japan.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine interventions and identify risk factors for lymphocele formation following kidney transplant.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 296 adult kidney transplants from 2010 to 2022 to investigate postoperative lymphocele formation. We divided patients into lymphocele cases and nonlymphocele cases.
