Use of serum KL-6 level for detecting patients with restrictive allograft syndrome after lung transplantation. [PDF]

open access: goldPLoS ONE, 2020
KL-6 is an antigen produced mainly by damaged type II pneumocytes that is involved in interstitial lung disease. Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) after lung transplantation (LT) is a major concern for LT clinicians, especially in patients with ...

Development of a Multivariate Prediction Model for Early-Onset Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome and Restrictive Allograft Syndrome in Lung Transplantation [PDF]

open access: goldFrontiers in Medicine, 2017
BackgroundChronic lung allograft dysfunction and its main phenotypes, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS), are major causes of mortality after lung transplantation (LT).

Prognostic impact of restrictive ventilatory defects in chronic lung allograft dysfunction without restrictive allograft syndrome-like opacities: Stratification of emerging undefined and unclassified phenotypes [PDF]

open access: diamondJHLT Open
Background: Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) remains a critical factor affecting post-lung transplant prognosis. While RAS-like opacities (RLO) are established as poor prognostic indicators, prognostic stratification of non-RLO CLAD cases ...

Radiological distribution patterns in restrictive chronic lung allograft dysfunction: Impact on survival across all phenotypes [PDF]

open access: yesJHLT Open
Background: Restrictive chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) demonstrates poor outcomes after lung transplantation. However, the impact of radiological patterns on survival within a restrictive CLAD under the new International Society for Heart and ...

Donor-derived cell-free DNA in chronic lung allograft dysfunction phenotypes: a pilot study [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Transplantation
Long-term survival after lung transplantation is limited due to chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), which encompasses two main phenotypes: bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS).

Dynamic 19F-MRI of pulmonary ventilation in lung transplant recipients with and without chronic lung allograft dysfunction [PDF]

open access: yesJHLT Open
Background: By the time chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), with its main phenotypes bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS), is diagnosed by pulmonary function testing, irreversible damage to the lung ...

Lung transplantation for pulmonary chronic graft-versus-host disease: a missed opportunity? [PDF]

open access: yesJHLT Open
Chronic graft-versus-host disease is a common complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with pulmonary chronic graft-versus-host disease (PcGvHD) particularly associated with a dismal prognosis. Lung transplantation (LuTx) is

Survival of patients with advanced chronic lung allograft dysfunction and the role of redo transplantation [PDF]

open access: yesJHLT Open
Background: Lung transplantation (LTx) is a treatment option for end-stage lung disease. Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) poses challenges to long-term survival.
