Background: The gap between demand and supply for solid organ transplants requires strategies to expand the donor pool. Successful use of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-positive grafts has been reported in liver transplantation.
Methods: In this United Network for Organ Sharing database (January 1999 to June 2021) retrospective cohort study, outcomes of kidney transplant (KT) or heart transplant (HT) recipients with HBV donor grafts (hepatitis B surface antigen and/or for HBV nucleic acid test-positive) were examined.

Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a potentially reversible syndrome that develops in patients with cirrhosis or with underlying chronic liver disease (CLD) and is characterized by acute decompensation, organ failure, and high short-term mortality. Hepatitis A and hepatitis E are major causes of ACLF. Hepatitis B may also cause ACLF through a flare of hepatitis B, acute infection, or reactivation.

Background: Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) contributes to significant morbidity and mortality in hospitalised patients with cirrhosis.
Aims: To examine recent trends, magnitude and outcomes of HRS in the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database METHODS: Among the NIS database on cirrhosis hospitalisations (2016-2019) due to alcohol (ALD), chronic viral hepatitis (CVH), or NASH and complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI) were analyzed.
Results: Of 113,454 hospitalisations, 18,735 (16.

Background: Data on liver transplantation (LT) in acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) are scanty.
Aim: To perform meta-analysis on outcomes after LT for ACLF compared with ACLF patients not receiving LT or with LT recipients for indications other than ACLF.
Methods: We pooled data from 12 studies on LT outcomes among ACLF patients.
