Kidney transplant candidates with high anti-M-type phospholipase A2 receptor antibody activity may be at increased risk for early postkidney transplant recurrence and allograft loss. Pretransplant treatment to induce serological remission may be warranted to improve allograft survival. In this case report, a patient seeking their third kidney transplant, who lost 2 prior living donor transplants from early recurrent membranous nephropathy, underwent pretransplant treatment for membranous nephropathy with serological remission and no evidence of recurrent disease.

Background: Pleural effusion and ascites developing after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) are generally associated with inferior overall survival (OS); however, the prognostic value of pretransplant effusion on transplant outcomes remained unclear.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated minimal pleural effusion and ascites detected by computed tomography in 248 consecutive adult patients who underwent their first allo-SCT from January 2007 to December 2022.

Results: Forty-eight patients demonstrated minimal pleural effusion or ascites within 100 days before transplantation (Effusion group) and the other 200 had no effusion (No effusion group).

Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is safe and effective for adolescents and adults with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) with severe disease manifestations of their disease. The haematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index (HCT-CI) score predicts transplant survival in non-malignant diseases, including IEIs. We hypothesised that immune dysregulation pre-transplant may also influence transplant outcomes.

Background: Among primary liver tumors, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is considered the most common hepatic tumor. Liver transplantation is one of the curative treatment options for HCC. However, the risk of HCC recurrence after liver transplantation varies and is influenced by various factors.

Objective: To analyze the risk factors of primary poor graft function (PGF) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with myeloid malignancies and the impact of primary PGF on survival.

Methods: The clinical data of 146 patients with myeloid malignancies who underwent allo-HSCT in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2021 were retrospectively studied. Some relevant clinical parameters which may affect the development of primary PGF after allo-HSCT were selected for univariate and multivariate analysis, as well as performed survival analysis.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionised the treatment landscape for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab has demonstrated efficacy, establishing a new standard of care for advanced HCC. Neoadjuvant studies have shown promising results with high response rates, increasing research into ICIs' role.
