Frequency of Cardiovascular Events and Effect on Survival in Liver Transplant Recipients for Cirrhosis Due to Alcoholic or Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis.
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiovascular events occurred with similar frequency in transplant recipients for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or alcoholic cirrhosis. Patient survival was affected in both groups, but male patients with concomitant hepatitis C virus infection remained at higher risk for a cardiovascular event after liver transplant. Development of a cardiac evaluation protocol for liver transplant recipients could help monitor these patients. PMID: 26581602 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Expanded Criteria Donors
Exp Clin Transplant. 2022 Aug;20(Suppl 4):13-19. doi: 10.6002/ect.DonorSymp.2022.L13.ABSTRACTThe expanded criteria donor is any donor over the age of 60 years or a donor over the age of 50 years with 2 of the following 3 items: (1) history of high blood pressure, (2) serum creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dL, and (3) death due to stroke. To accept an expanded criteria donor kidney may significantly decrease the amount of time a person waits for transplant but requires written informed consent from the recipient. Although expanded criteria donor kidneys have predictably shorter outcomes than standard criteria donors, the exact risk is ...
