Introduction: Bacterial infections remain a major cause of morbidity after liver transplantation despite advances in perioperative care. Synbiotics, combining probiotics and prebiotics, have been proposed to reduce postoperative...
Introduction: Perioperative bleeding remains a major challenge during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), largely due to hyperfibrinolysis and coagulation abnormalities. Although tranexamic acid (TXA) effectively reduces bleeding in several...
Introduction: Liver transplantation is limited by a shortage of suitable donor organs. Current viability assessment relies on needle biopsy, which samples only a small portion of the liver...
Introduction: Bleeding remains a major challenge during liver transplantation despite advances in surgical techniques, anesthesia, and perioperative care. Antifibrinolytic agents have long been used to reduce intraoperative blood...
Introduction: The demand for liver transplantation continues to exceed the availability of deceased donor organs, resulting in prolonged waiting times and preventable waitlist mortality. This perspective discusses how...
Introduction: Pediatric liver transplantation has achieved excellent survival rates, shifting the focus from graft survival alone to optimising long-term health, growth, neurodevelopment, and quality of life. This updated...
Introduction: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a pregnancy-specific liver disorder characterized by severe pruritus and elevated bile acids, carrying risks for both maternal well-being and fetal outcomes....
Introduction: Hospital readmission within 30 days of liver transplantation is a common and costly event that reflects early postoperative morbidity and is increasingly used as a quality metric...
Introduction: Frailty is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of outcomes in patients with advanced liver disease and has become an important component of liver transplant evaluation. Although...
Introduction: Weight gain and metabolic dysfunction are increasingly recognized as major challenges after liver transplantation. Obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease can adversely affect graft...
