Abstract

Purposes

End-stage liver and kidney disease is an indication for simultaneous liver and kidney transplantation. However, in countries where deceased donor transplantation is not well established, living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is a realistic option for patients on hemodialysis (HD). We investigated the outcomes of LDLT for patients on HD.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective multicenter survey of patients on chronic HD who underwent LDLT in East Asian countries. The characteristics of donors and recipients and the short and long-term outcomes were analyzed.

Results

Between 2001 and 2021, 45 patients on HD underwent LDLT and 11 of these patients also underwent kidney transplantation (KT). The overall survival rate at 5 years of the 34 patients who underwent only LDLT was 44.5%. Multivariate analysis identified a low graft recipient weight ratio (< 1%) (p = 0.048) and long HD duration (≥ 10 years) (p = 0.046) as independent predictors of poor overall survival. The major complication was posttransplant bleeding, which occurred in12 patients (35%).

Conclusion

It is important to establish the indications for LDLT, taking into consideration graft size and HD duration in candidate patients on HD.

Akute Cholezystitis bei multimorbiden Älteren: Operation nicht sofort ausschließen!

Bei älteren, multimorbiden Menschen mit akuter Cholezystitis wird eine Operation häufig nicht erwogen. Eine Studie aus Philadelphia zeigt nun jedoch, dass auch diese Patientinnen und Patienten von einer chirurgischen Therapie profitieren können.

Was geschehen muss, damit Prähabilitation in die Leitlinien kommt

Eine Prähabilitation vor einem viszeralchirurgischen Eingriff ist Experten zufolge äußerst sinnvoll, dennoch wird sie in Leitlinien derzeit nicht empfohlen. Beim DCK erklärte Prof. Tim Vilz aus Bonn, woran das liegt und was benötigt wird, um die Situation zu ändern.

Thoracic-Outlet-Syndrom nur in Ausnahmefällen operieren!

Das Thoracic-Outlet-Syndrom erfordert nur in ganz bestimmten Fällen ein operatives Vorgehen. Beim DCK wurde vor schwerwiegenden Komplikationen des anspruchsvollen Eingriffs gewarnt.

Statine: Was der G-BA-Beschluss für Praxen bedeutet

Nach dem G-BA-Beschluss zur erweiterten Verordnungsfähigkeit von Lipidsenkern rechnet die DEGAM mit 200 bis 300 neuen Dauerpatienten pro Praxis. Im Interview erläutert Präsidiumsmitglied Erika Baum, wie Hausärztinnen und Hausärzte am besten vorgehen.
