Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out

Impact of Letermovir on Voriconazole Concentrations in Lung Transplant Patients
Concomitant letermovir was associated with lower voriconazole exposure and reduced attainment of commonly used efficacy thresholds in lung transplant recipients. Routine therapeutic drug monitoring after letermovir initiation is recommended, and empiric voriconazole dose escalation may be needed to avoid subtherapeutic exposure. ABSTRACT Background The

ABSTRACT Background Kidneys from deceased donors with diabetes mellitus are refused because diabetes is considered a marker of lower organ quality. We evaluated 5‐year outcomes according to donor‐recipient diabetes status and, secondarily, the prognostic value of pre‐implantation histopathological findings among accepted diabetic donor kidneys ...

Kidney transplantation under minimal immunosuppression after pretransplant lymphoid depletion with Thymoglobulin or Campath [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Multiple drug immunosuppression has allowed the near elimination of rejection, but without commensurate improvements in longterm graft survival and at the cost of quality of life.

Soluble immune checkpoints, anti‐HLA panel‐reactive antibodies, and kidney function parameters were evaluated to investigate their associations with early graft function. Pre‐transplant patients showed higher levels of sCD25, sPD‐L1, sTIM‐3, Gal‐9, sCD27, and sPD‐L2 than healthy controls, while post‐transplant temporal changes were observed in sCD25 ...

ABSTRACT Background Donor/recipient HLA molecular mismatches are predictive of kidney transplant outcomes. Their role in pancreas transplantation has not been well studied. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study in 281 pancreas (± kidney) transplant recipients during 2000–2018, followed for average 53.8 months.

ABSTRACT The Thai Transplantation Society developed these clinical practice guidelines to establish a comprehensive standard for immunosuppressive therapy in adult kidney transplantation. While rooted in evidence‐based medicine, the objective of this document extends beyond local application, serving as a practical model for low‐to‐middle‐income ...
