Pre-transplantation red blood cell transfusion (RBCT) is a well-recognized cause of allosensitization. However, the effects RBCT after kidney transplantation remain controversial. This study evaluates impacts within first 30 days post-transplantation (early RBCT) with regard to long-term patient and graft outcomes. We retrospectively analyzed 785 patients who underwent HLA- ABO-compatible between 2014 2020. Patients were categorized based on whether they received early RBCT. Overall, 18.9%...
Background: The use of small grafts, defined by a graft-to-recipient weight ratio (GRWR) less than 0.8, is possibly associated with an increased risk graft loss in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).This study aims to validate factors for LDLT GRWR<0.8 using single-center data.Methods: recipients, who received GRWR<0.8graft at Severance Hospital, between July 2007 and December 2022, were categorized based on the number identified previous Korean multicentric study: recipient age ≥60...
Background: This study aims to analyze the outcomes of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using grafts with multiple hepatic arteries (HAs), compared those a single HA.Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1,059 LDLT patients from July 2005 December 2022 at Severance Hospital, South Korea.Patients were categorized into multiple-HA and single-HA groups.Propensity score matching employed balance baseline characteristics, primary being graft survival secondary including HA,...
Background: Carbapenem-resistant gram-negative rod bacteremia (CRGNR-B) is emerging as a formidable challenge, complicating patient management and outcomes in liver transplantation (LT).This study aimed to investigate the incidence, mortality, risk factors associated with CRGNR-B within 90 days following LT.Methods: A retrospective nested case-control was conducted using single centric LT data (n=1,379).CRGNR-B cases were matched 1:5 control patients for analyzing survival CRGNR-B....
Background: This investigation delves into the intricacies of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in context liver transplantation (LT), focusing on experiences from a Korean single center.Despite GVHD's relatively low incidence, its severe implications patient mortality underscore urgent need for advanced management and comprehension strategies.Methods: In retrospective analysis at Severance Hospital, Korea, we reviewed 1,107 adult LT recipients January 2009 to March 2023, excluding those who...

ABSTRACT Background Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) offers timely curative treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aims to validate and compare previous prediction models HCC outcomes in 488 LDLT recipients. Methods For patients who underwent HCC, pretransplant imaging studies assessed by modified RECSIT criteria, tumor markers such as alpha feto‐protein (AFP) protein induced vitamin K absence or antagonist‐II (PIVKA II), explant pathology were...
