Dual hepatitis virus infections in liver transplant: case report and a review of the literature.

16 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Liver transplantation (LT) using grafts from anti-HBVcore antibody-positive (anti-HBVcAB+) donors carry risk for development of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The long-term course of hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients receiving ... Read more...

Assessment of liver graft function and regeneration by galactosyl-human serum albumin (99mTc-GSA) liver scintigraphy in adult living-donor liver transplantation.

14 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: In adult living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT), the assessment of the graft functional reserve is very important. We evaluated the graft functional reserve by technetium-99m-diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid-galactosyl-human serum ... Read more...

Treatment with sirolimus ameliorates tacrolimus-induced autoimmune cytopenias after solid organ transplant.

29 Nov 2009 The development of autoimmune blood cell cytopenias is a potentially life-threatening complication of solid organ transplantation, resulting from T-cell dysregulation from immunosuppressive medications. Conventional treatment with corticosteroids ... Read more...
