Renal outcomes after liver transplantation are critical.
W/in 24 mos, 20.99% of patients developed CKD, w/ a significant decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate. Pre-transplant serum creatinine ≥ 1.5 mg/dL was associated w/ worse renal prognosis. doi.org/10.53855/bjt...

Brazil increased the absolute number of transplants in 2024, but donation effectiveness remained at 27%, which is below the target. Family refusal (46%) remains the primary barrier, limiting growth in transplants per million population.

🫁 Severe hypoxemia matters in liver transplantation
Patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome & PaO₂ < 45 mmHg are prioritized on the waiting list but show lower post-transplant survival, highlighting hypoxemia severity as a key prognostic factor beyond MELD/PELD.

Do digestive issues threaten lung transplantation?
Study shows that esophageal dysmotility is an independent risk factor for acute rejection of the transplanted lung. Gastroparesis is also linked to Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction.
Digestive evaluation is crucial post-LT.
