Influence of mycophenolate mofetil dosage and plasma levels on the occurrence of chronic lung allograft dysfunction in lung transplants: a retrospective cohort analysis [PDF]

open access: goldSwiss Medical Weekly, 2022
INTRODUCTION: Development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction is a limiting factor for post-lung transplant survival. We evaluated whether the dose of the immunosuppressant mycophenolate mofetil or plasma concentrations of the active metabolite ...

Systems prediction of chronic lung allograft dysfunction: Results and perspectives from the Cohort of Lung Transplantation and Systems prediction of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction cohorts [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2023
BackgroundChronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is the leading cause of poor long-term survival after lung transplantation (LT). Systems prediction of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (SysCLAD) aimed to predict CLAD.MethodsTo predict CLAD, we ...

The Association of Post-Lung Transplant Pulmonary Embolism With the Development of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction. [PDF]

open access: goldTransplant Direct
Background. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a rare yet serious postoperative complication for lung transplant recipients (LTRs). The association between timing and severity of PE and the development of chronic allograft lung dysfunction (CLAD) has not been ...

Metformin attenuates chronic lung allograft dysfunction: evidence in rat models [PDF]

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2023
Background Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) directly causes an abysmal long-term prognosis after lung transplantation (LTx), but effective and safe drugs are not available.

Blood MMP-9 measured at 2 years after lung transplantation as a prognostic biomarker of chronic lung allograft dysfunction. [PDF]

open access: goldRespir Res
Background Long-term outcomes of lung transplantation (LTx) remain hampered by chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is a secretory endopeptidase identified as a key mediator in fibrosis processes associated with ...

JAK-STAT activation contributes to cytotoxic T cell-mediated basal cell death in human chronic lung allograft dysfunction. [PDF]

open access: goldJCI Insight, 2023
Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is the leading cause of death in lung transplant recipients. CLAD is characterized clinically by a persistent decline in pulmonary function and histologically by the development of airway-centered fibrosis known ...

A European Multi-Center Analysis of Extracorporeal Photopheresis as Therapy for Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction. [PDF]

open access: yesTranspl Int, 2023
Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is used by few lung transplant centers to treat chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Although reported results suggest a beneficial effect on CLAD progression, evidence is limited to single center experiences. The

Gene Expression Profiling of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Cells Preceding a Clinical Diagnosis of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction. [PDF]

open access: green, 2017
BackgroundChronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) is the main limitation to long-term survival after lung transplantation. Although CLAD is usually not responsive to treatment, earlier identification may improve treatment prospects.MethodsIn a nested ...

Monogenic gene variants in lung transplant recipients with usual interstitial pneumonia [PDF]

open access: yesERJ Open Research, 2022
Aim The prevalence of monogenic disease-causing gene variants in lung transplant recipients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is not fully known. Their impact on clinical outcomes before and after transplantation requires more evidence.
