Background And Aims: Liver transplant surgery has been performed in India for the last 25 years. We aimed to analyse the trends, characteristics, and key elements in the field of liver transplantation research from India.
Methods: On April 23, 2023, we conducted a search of the Scopus database for the literature on liver transplantation research, using a well-defined search strategy. MS Excel and VOS viewer software programs were used to examine the articles for organisation, author, journal, keywords, and high-cited literature.
Results: This analysis examined a total of 556 papers, which constituted only a 1.55% share of the global output. These papers involved 442 organizations, 1575 authors, and 147 journals. External funding was received in 4.13% and 23.56% were involved in international collaboration. Three Delhi-NCR organizations, namely the Medanta-The Medicity ( = 63), Institute of Liver & Biliary Sciences ( = 60), and Indraprastha Apollo Hospital ( = 48) led in publication productivity. M. Rela ( = 90) and A.S. Soin ( = 63) were the leading authors in publication productivity, while S. Sudhindran and P. Bhangui were the most impactful authors. ( = 96) and ( = 65) published the maximum number of these papers, whereas, and led in the citation impact per paper. The most significant keywords were "Liver Transplantation" ( = 484), and "Living Donor" ( = 254). Only 1.80% ( = 10) of the papers were highly cited papers that received 50 to 142 citations and they together registered 69.9 citations per paper.
Conclusion: Although the number of publications on liver transplantation from India started growing recently, it forms only 1.55% of the global report. There is an unmet need to increase government-supported research and multicenter collaborative studies at national and international levels for high-quality patient care.

Clinical outcomes of COVID-19 infection in liver transplant recipients based on vaccination status.
Front Transplant
January 2025
Section of Transplant Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO, United States.
Background: COVID-19 disease burden has been mitigated by vaccination; however, concerns persist regarding weakened immune responses in liver transplant (LT) recipients. This study investigates COVID-19 outcomes in LT recipients based on vaccination status.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study identified LT recipients with PCR-confirmed COVID-19 infection from 03/01/2020 to 07/31/2023.
Construction of a radiogenomic signature based on endoplasmic reticulum stress for predicting prognosis and systemic combination therapy response in hepatocellular carcinoma.
BMC Cancer
January 2025
Hepatobiliary Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, 300 Guangzhou Road, Nanjing, Jiangsu, 210029, People's Republic of China.
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common tumors worldwide. Various factors in the tumor environment (TME) can lead to the activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), thereby affecting the occurrence and development of tumors. The objective of our study was to develop and validate a radiogenomic signature based on ERS to predict prognosis and systemic combination therapy response.

BMC Gastroenterol
January 2025
Department of General Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, Anhui, 230022, China.
Background: CA19-9 is a classical tumor marker and plays an important role in the diagnosis of biliary and pancreatic cancer. However, a few cases reported that the tumor maker CA19-9 is abnormally elevated in patients with calculous cholecystitis, but the relation between severity of calculous cholecystitis and serum CA19-9 level are still unknown.
Methods: Total 105 calculous cholecystitis patients from first hospital were collected and divided into high serum CA19-9 group(high group, n = 35) and normal serum CA19-9 group(normal group, n = 70).
Perioperative Variation of Plasma Copeptin and Its Association With Vasopressor Need During Liver Transplantation.
Transplant Proc
January 2025
Nişantaşı University Health Services Vocational School, Department of Anesthesia, Turkey.
Background: Vasopressor usage during liver transplant is related to decreased hepatic flow, graft failure, and mortality. We measured plasma Copeptin levels in liver transplant patients based on vasopressor requirements. We hypothesize that preoperative plasma copeptin measurement helps predict the vasopressor infusion requirement during liver transplantation in preoperative evaluation.

The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2025 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation, Management, and Treatment of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) represents the first KDIGO guideline on this subject. Its scope includes nomenclature, diagnosis, prognosis, and prevalence; kidney manifestations; chronic kidney disease (CKD) management and progression, kidney failure, and kidney replacement therapy; therapies to delay progression of kidney disease; polycystic liver disease; intracranial aneurysms and other extrarenal manifestations; lifestyle and psychosocial aspects; pregnancy and reproductive issues; pediatric issues; and approaches to the management of people with ADPKD. The guideline has been developed with patient partners, clinicians, and researchers around the world, with the goal to generate a useful resource for healthcare providers and patients by providing actionable recommendations.
