Introduction: In rare cases, patients require a combined liver-kidney transplant. However, the peri- and postoperative care of liver transplant recipients differs from kidney transplant recipients, which can lead to conflicts of interest. In the case of poor coagulation status and/or instable hemodynamics of the patient, liver transplantation, followed by delayed kidney transplantation can lead to better postoperative recovery.
Presentation Of Case: In our case report, we present a 48-year old man with Alagille syndrome and IgA nephropathy with bilirubin-associated acute kidney injury, causing him to develop both end-stage liver and kidney disease. He underwent a combined liver-kidney transplant as the first patient in the Netherlands, in which the donor kidney was transplanted one day after the liver transplantation. One-year post-transplant patient is in good clinical condition, with normal liver function and an eGFR of 57 ml/min.
Conclusion: Combined liver-kidney transplantation with delayed kidney implantation in a medical center with no previous experience with this technique is feasible and safe. This could be better for both the patient and the kidney graft.
Objective: Aim: To determine the effect of cell therapy on the intensity of lipid peroxidation processes in the liver, kidneys and lungs of rats of different ages under conditions of experimental cranio-skeletal trauma (CST).
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: In the experiments, 129 white male Wistar line rats of different age groups were used: immature rats aged 100-120 days and weighing 90-110 g; mature rats aged 6-8 months and weighing 180-200 g; and old rats aged 19-23 months and weighing 300-320 g. In each age group, CST was modeled under thiopental sodium anesthesia.

Methylmalonic acidemias (MMAs) are rare inherited metabolic diseases with multiorgan involvement. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common complication, leading to kidney failure, dialysis, and kidney transplantation (KT). The objective of these guidelines was to develop clinical practice recommendations focusing on specific aspects of the kidney management of this disease.

Food additives are present in more than 50% of food products. Several studies have suggested a link between the consumption of certain food additives and an increased risk of developing cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the genotoxicity of 32 additives and six mixtures identified by the NutriNet-Santé cohort as the most widely consumed.
Effects of chrysin and N-acetylcysteine on deltamethrin exposure in rats were investigated. Eighty male Wistar Albino rats, weighing between 150 and 200 g and aged 2-3 months, were used and evenly allocated into eight groups. The control group of rats received a corn oil vehicle.
