Download or read book Combined Liver Kidney Transplantation a Single Centre Experience written by Samuel Turner and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Combined liver kidney transplantation (CLKT) can improve liver allograft and overall survival in patients with end stage liver and renal failure. We aimed to analyse our experience and confirm that there is still a role for this procedure in modern transplantation.Methods:A retrospective analysis of patient notes and electronic records was performed. All CLKT performed at a single centre were included.Results:A total of 31 CLKT were performed in 30 patients at a single centre over a 26 year period. In 15 the indication was a metabolic disease, principally methylmalonic acidaemia and primary oxalosis; of the remainder 6 had alcoholic liver disease and 3 had hepatitis C with associated renal conditions, 2 had polycystic disease and 3 were re-transplants. Mean donor age was 37 years (7-71); when separated into subgroups prior to 2010 and from 2010 onwards, the later group were significantly older (43 vs 34 years). 2 donors were DCD, both performed in 2013. Mean liver cold ischaemia time was 582 minutes and mean kidney CIT was 799 minutes. 21 patients remain alive, 19 patients have functioning CLKT liver allografts, and 17 patients have functioning CLKT renal allografts after a median follow-up of 57 months (7 days-25 years). Causes of death were multiple organ failure (6), septicaemia (1) and mesenteric infarction (1). Causes of liver allograft failure leading to re-transplant were vascular thrombosis (2), primary non-function (1) and ductopenic rejection (1). Causes of renal allograft failure were primary non-function (1), DWFG (7), cellular rejection (2), sepsis (2) and cessation of immunosuppression (1). There were 3 renal delayed graft functions; 2 of these and the only PNF were in the older post 2010 subgroup. Discussion:CLKT is an appropriate and safe treatment for select group patients. Ischaemia times, complications and outcomes are similar to transplanting either organ alone. The recent increase in renal delayed graft function reflects an increasing reliance on older donors. Liver and kidney teams need to offer a combined approach to management of these patients in order to achieve the best outcomes.

This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of areas within liver transplant continue to evolve as the field matures. The advent of increasingly effective therapy for HCV will dramatically reduce the burden of recurrent disease within the next few years. HCC has become a well established indication for transplant with an increasing emphasis on adjuvant therapies to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence and potentially expand the acceptable limits of tumor burden amenable to liver transplant. Renal dysfunction is a frequent complication of decompensated liver disease and an important predictor of diminished post-transplant survival. Newer approached to therapy including terlipressin will reduce the impact of renal dysfunction in liver transplant candidates and potentially reduce the need for combined liver/kidney transplant. Increasing attention is being paid to role of comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension on long-term recipient outcomes. Retransplantation remains a challenge with a variety of models available to predict outcomes. Cardiac disease pretransplant is an area of active investigation with newer entities such as cirrhotic cardiomyopathy a growing concern. These are some of many evolving issues in liver transplant which will be addressed to update our readers and which in turn will enhance the care of patients with liver disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first surgical atlas demonstrating preparatory steps by photographs! These operations are shown: organ donation (liver-kidney, liver-pancreas-kidney, kidney), orthotopic liver transplantation, segmental liver transplantation (preparation of a left liver graft, preparation of a left lateral liver graft, split liver preparation), living-related liver donation, heterotopic liver transplantation, pancreas transplantation, kidney transplantation. The photographs explain each important preparatory step, as well as potential variants and possible pitfalls. For each operation a checklist for preoperative preparation and postoperative care is included to allow a quick survey of the pre- and postoperative periods. "The book clearly explains all details of surgical technique and anatomy. The authors have restricted the text to a minimum so that the reader can gain a clearer understanding of the anatomy as each procedure develops...With the increasing number of organ transplantations ...more and more general surgeons have to be involved in organ donation...This atlas is recommended for all transplant surgeons and should be available to all general units where organ donation occurs."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IntroductionPost-liver transplant outcomes are significantly influenced by renal impairment. Simultaneous Liver Kidney transplantation (SLKT) was introduced as a means to decrease morbidity and mortality. There is published data from the United States regarding outcomes which is lacking for the UK population.We looked at 10-year liver and kidney outcome data from our large UK transplant centre and compared this to national data.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed of SLKT recipients in our centre over 10 years (01/04/08-31/03/18) focusing on clinical outcomes compared to the national data from the UK Transplant Registry. Inclusion criteria were aged 17 or over at time of transplant; received both liver and kidney grafts and an elective procedure. Primary clinical outcomes included patient survival, graft survival, eGFR and complications. tResults19 patients were included (9 males and 10 females; median age 54 years) from our centre compared to 97 patients nationally in the period. SLKT indications were varied but similar across the groups (p 0.64). There is no difference in median time from listing to transplant in our centre compared to others (275 days (IQR 77-453) v 269 days (IQR 74-597)). Of patients receiving first grafts there was no difference in survival or graft status. The cause of death in three patients at our centre was infection. DiscussionSLK transplantation is a complex operation. Our centre has excellent outcomes comparable to national and published U.S. data.
