Age is not the end of the road for DCD organs! This study shows that septuagenarian DCD grafts can achieve favorable graft survival after both kidney and liver transplantation expanding the donor pool and challenging age-related assumptions. tinyurl.com/78hxfbw8

Kidney transplantation in older adults: Longer dialysis exposure and donor hypertension increased early complications, while preemptive KT and living donation were protective. #TXPforAll #Transplantation #OpenAccess tinyurl.com/uev623ys

This study by Nevermann et al. reports on the lives of people who underwent liver transplantation over 30 years ago. #TXPforAll #Transplantation tinyurl.com/a2ysmm7s

A global survey of 438 critical care & transplant specialists revealed significant knowledge and confidence discrepancies regarding organ acceptance, including infectious risks, cancer history, alcohol consumption, and donation following circulatory death. tinyurl.com/ms88jh8u

🧬Could HLA-DQ biology hold clues to kidney transplant outcomes? New findings highlight associations between HLA-DQ heterodimers and graft survival, opening new avenues to better understand HLA biology in #transplantation. #TXPforAll #OpenAccess tinyurl.com/dckpfmsd

🫘A new synthetic solution for kidney preservation? Omnisol maintained more stable perfusion, near-constant pH and better tissue morphology than Belzer MPS during 24 h HOPE in porcine kidneys. #TXPforAll #Transplantation #OpenAccess tinyurl.com/297278e3

Can the graft’s DNA tell us how it will perform? This study shows that cell-free DNA—particularly mitochondrial cfDNA—measured during machine perfusion is associated with post-transplant graft outcomes. #TXPforAll #Transplantation tinyurl.com/mrzhsv47

This study shows that RSV vaccination induces robust functional humoral immunity in immunocompromised patient groups, with kidney transplant recipients showing the lowest levels. #TXPforAll #Transplantation #Vaccination tinyurl.com/wrsxc7dp

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor therapy showed a trend toward longer overall survival vs standard chemotherapy, with low rates of rejection and allograft loss. #TXPforAll #Transplantation #OpenAccess tinyurl.com/29ksmjbx

💊 Letermovir vs valganciclovir: a promising alternative for CMV prophylaxis! #TXPforAll #Transplantation #OpenAccess tinyurl.com/bdzb4xvr

This study shows that weight ratio offers a simple real-time tool to flag size-mismatched grafts and identify recipients who may need closer perioperative monitoring. #TXPforAll #Transplantation #OpenAccess tinyurl.com/4v36k59c

Combining CTLA4-Ig + anti-IL-6/IL-6R appears to offer benefits in sustaining renal function, DSA reduction, possibly immune cell modulation, and prevention of dn-DSA. Importantly, CNI toxicity abated in all patients. tinyurl.com/mvdruxfu

Multiple renal arteries? No longer a contraindication to robotic kidney transplantation! #TXPforAll #Transplantation #OpenAccess tinyurl.com/4b5z93w3

Could 10°C be the new sweet spot for kidney preservation is discussed in this paper by Francisco Calderon Novoa et al. #TXPforAll #Transplantation #OpenAccess tinyurl.com/67fzfyc2

This paper reports about CMV prophylaxis in older kidney transplant recipients: letermovir shows promise! #TXPforAll #Transplantation tinyurl.com/bdzb4xvr

This paper presents two cases of successful management of severe vascular complications after kidney transplantation, involving ex vivo arterial reconstruction followed by graft reimplantation. #TXPforAll #KidneyTransplantation tinyurl.com/948h7wa7

This multicenter study of 516 KT recipients found higher tacrolimus trough variability was significantly associated with posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) 40.3% developed PTDM within 1 year TAC-CV thresholds may help identify patients at higher risk tinyurl.com/3vphcbzt

🩺This paper addresses whether tacrolimus variability predicts posttransplant diabetes. #Transplantation #OpenAccess #Diabetes tinyurl.com/3vphcbzt
