Among 1,963 living liver donor referrals, obesity and MASLD drove substantial attrition. Yet selected donors with class I obesity had similar donor safety and recipient outcomes, while national SRTR data showed no survival disadvantage by donor BMI. journals.lww.com/lt/abstract/10…

Randomized trial (n=138): prophylactic TXA did not significantly reduce major bleeding after liver transplantation, but reduced RBC transfusions and hospital stay, without increasing thromboembolic events or mortality. #LiverTwitter #LiverTransplantation journals.lww.com/lt/abstract/10…

RCT in 81 liver transplant recipients: 14 days of postoperative synbiotics did not reduce bacterial infections versus placebo (38.5% vs 33.3%, adjusted p=0.68). Rejection, hospital stay, and 90-day survival were also similar. #LiverTwitter #Transplantation journals.lww.com/lt/abstract/10…

A step toward greater logistical flexibility and graft utilization: Donor liver was split under continuous DHOPE, enabling preservation up to 33 hours and successful transplantation into an urgent pediatric and a complex adult recipient. #LiverTwitter journals.lww.com/lt/fulltext/10…

In 242 liver transplant recipients, surveillance biopsy-guided CNI reduction was associated with preserved renal function without increased rejection, graft loss, death, fibrosis, or inflammation over 47 months. #LiverTwitter #LiverTransplantation journals.lww.com/lt/abstract/99…

Retrospective study of 90 LT recipients: isolated pre-LT lipase ≥3×ULN did not predict death or graft failure. In contrast, radiographic/intraoperative pancreatitis occurred in 9%, carried poor outcomes, and was strongly predicted by lipase ≥5×ULN. journals.lww.com/lt/abstract/99…

🔥HOT TOPIC 📙@LTxJournal A must-read update for clinicians managing #PrimarySclerosingCholangitis #PSC, this review provides practical guidance on evaluating biliary strictures, improving cholangiocarcinoma detection, and optimizing ERCP-based management while reducing adverse events. It also highlights emerging innovations, from cholangioscopy and EUS to next-generation sequencing and radiomics, that could transform cancer detection and patient care in PSC.
