Can #dapagliflozin (DAPA) improve outcomes in kidney transplant recipients with chronic allograft dysfunction? In this randomized placebo-controlled trial, DAPA did not preserve eGFR but reduced proteinuria, BP, and HbA1c with a favorable safety profile. tinyurl.com/2h5fmejr

🦠 Norovirus after #Transplantation remains a major clinical challenge. Which treatments actually work? This comprehensive scoping review of 58 studies finds promising signals—but highlights a striking lack of high-quality evidence. #TXPforAll #OpenAccess tinyurl.com/yuxdpmza

🧠 Test your knowledge with our Case of the Week A 4-year-old is POD 3 after LT. Doppler repeatedly shows hepatic arterial flow, but AST/ALT spike suddenly and bilirubin begins climbing. The radiologist notes possible collateral signals. Which confirmatory step best addresses the specific pitfall in this scenario? A. Repeat Doppler with the same technique in 12 hours B. MR venography to exclude portal venous obstruction C. CT angiography to confirm true hepatic arterial patency because collaterals may mimic flow D. Liver biopsy to rule out rejection as the next step ⭐ Think you know the answer? Drop it below. We'll post the correct answer on Thursday! IPTA brings together physicians, surgeons, researchers, trainees, and allied health professionals from across the globe to share knowledge, build connections, and improve care for children. ❤️ 👉 Join IPTA to collaborate with global experts, expand your professional network, and help shape the future of pediatric transplantation. 🔗 iptapedstx.org #IPTA2027 #Transplantation #OrganDonation #Pediatrics #MedTwitter #TransplantTwitter

📢 @WHO has opened a public review of the draft Global Strategy on Donation and Transplantation. The strategy aims to improve equitable, ethical and safe access to transplantation of human cells, tissues and organs worldwide. 🌎 Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on the draft’s clarity, relevance, feasibility and any gaps or risks that should be addressed. 🔗 Learn more and submit feedback 👉 tts.org/news/tribune-p… #Transplantation #OrganDonation #GlobalHealth #WHO #HealthEquity #TTS2026

🧠 Did You Get It Right? The correct answer to our Case of the Week: 👉 A. The liver is the source of the metabolic defect; replacing hepatic enzyme activity stops overproduction at its origin. The question (ICYMI):  A 7-year-old with PH1 has recurrent stones, nephrocalcinosis, and eGFR 28. They are referred for transplant planning. The family asks why a liver transplant is needed when “the kidney is the failing organ.” Which answer is mechanistically correct? A. The liver transplant replaces alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase activity, stopping hepatic oxalate overproduction B. The liver transplant primarily improves renal perfusion via portal decompression C. The liver transplant prevents kidney rejection by inducing immune tolerance D. The liver transplant prevents stones by increasing bile acid synthesis 👉 Follow IPTA for more interactive learning 👉 Become a member to stay connected with global experts in pediatric transplantation 🔗 tts.org/ipta-about/ipt… #IPTA2027 #ClinicalEducation #PediatricTransplant #GlobalHealth

😊😃🙏🏻 I am incredibly honored to join an outstanding international panel for the upcoming Transplantation Society (TTS) Education Committee Webinar! 🌍🖥️ @ttsorg We will be diving deep into a rapidly evolving frontier: AI Applications in Solid Organ Transplantation. A reasonable understanding of artificial intelligence frameworks is becoming essential to harness the opportunities provided by large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. During this session, we will explore key concepts, what happens "under the hood" of these models, and how to use them responsibly. I am thrilled to share the virtual stage with an amazing lineup of experts. 🔹 Dr. Mamatha Bhat – AI Applications in Liver Transplantation 🔹 Wisit Cheungpasitporn, MD – AI Applications in Kidney Transplantation 🔹 Artem Trotsyuk, PhD – Biomedical Informatics and AI Frameworks A sincere thank you to our organizer, Dr. Jennifer Li, @JLi_Renal and our moderator, Dr. Harry Robertson, for putting together this incredibly timely educational program. 🤝 I hope many of you can join us for what promises to be an engaging and practical discussion! 🗓 Friday, July 31, 2026 ⏰ 06:00 Los Angeles | 09:00 Montreal | 14:00 London | 18:30 New Delhi | 21:00 Seoul | 23:00 Sydney 🔗 Register here: tts.org/tts-ec-webinar… Wisit Cheungpasitporn, MD, FACP, FASN, FAST @MayoClinicNeph Clinician-Scientist & Professor of Medicine, Mayo Clinic Leading AI Innovation in Kidney Care #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #KidneyTransplantation #LiverTransplantation #Transplantation #BiomedicalInformatics #DigitalHealth #ResponsibleAI #Nephrology #TTS #MayoClinic

🌍 A new global milestone: 173,727 solid organ transplants were performed in 2024—the highest number ever recorded. Growth was driven by increased deceased donation, particularly donation after circulatory death. #Transplantation #TXPforAll tinyurl.com/bddw5snt
