Graft loss following liver transplantation in patients with chronic hepatitis C

Transplantation

Abstract

Liver disease due to hepatitis C (HCV) is an increasingly frequent indication for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The aim of the current study was to analyze the causes of graft loss following OLT for chronic hepatitis C and the longterm outcome following retransplantation in a large university program. Between January 1990 and December 1995, 1183 patients underwent primary OLT at our center. In 304 patients, HCV was diagnosed by seropositivity and/or polymerase chain reaction. Fifty-six (18.4%) of these patients underwent retransplantation. The 36 patients retransplanted for primary non-function were excluded from further analysis. The other indications for regrafting (>30 days following primary transplant) included hepatic artery thrombosis (5), chronic rejection (4), severe HCV recurrence (5), and other etiologies (6). The cumulative survival rates for the 248 patients who received 1 OLT (group 1) were 84% after one year and 75% after three years. The corresponding rates for the 20 non-PNF patients who were retransplanted (group 2) were 60% and 43%, respectively (P<.0001). Moreover, logistic regression analysis confirmed that patients in group 2 were more than 4 times likely to die than patients in group 1 (P<.0034; ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
