Pharmaco-proteomic Platform to Evaluate Drug Interactions in Liver Transplant Patients
The goal of this observational study is to enhance the ability to forecast kidney failure in liver transplant patients in the ICU under multidrug treatment by developing a computer platform that integrates mathematical models of drug interactions, proteomics, and clinical data. The main outcomes it aims to develop are: Design …
Serum Glycomics as Prognostic and Diagnostic Biomarkers of Disease Recurrence in Liver Transplant Recipients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Liver transplantation (LT) is the only curative option for a selection of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on clinical selection criteria known as the Milan criteria. Nevertheless, 15% of these patients still show tumour recurrence after LT. In a monocentric pilot study, we have demonstrated that specific changes in …
Lenvatinib Therapy in HCC Patients After LDLT
New guidelines have been successfully established to distinguish the patients who were suitable for LT. This is important for long-term recurrence free and overall survival rate. We stratified patients with PET diagnosis and fetal protein response to confirm if they were the high-risk group for HCC recurrence. According to our …
Factors Associated With Posttransplant Cardiac Outcomes
Cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause of death early after liver transplantation (LT). The aging LT population is accompanied with the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. Furthermore, cirrhosis has been known to cause alterations in the systemic haemodynamic system and cardiac muscle …
Prospective Observational Pilot Study of LMWH Versus UFH as ECMO Anticoagulation in Lung Transplantation
The aim of this observational pilot study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) compared to unfractionated heparin (UFH) as anticoagulation in perioperative ECMO during bilateral lung transplantation. The main question this study seeks to answer is: Does LMWH provide a safe and effective alternative to …
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) After Kidney Transplantation
This study examines glucose levels measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in the immediate period following kidney transplantation among recipients with diabetes, without diabetes, and with pre-diabetes. The primary objective is to analyse differences in mean sensor glucose between these three groups. CGMs are applied to participants within 72 hours …
Incidence, Course and Outcome of ABMR in Kidney Transplantation
Rationale: Despite improved patient and graft survival in renal transplant recipients, still 20% of the patients reaches end-stage renal disease within 5 years after transplantation. Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is one of the major causes of early graft loss and perhaps even more important of late deterioration of graft function Objective: …
Selection Protocol for Liver Transplantation in Patients Aged Over 70 Years
Increased life expectancy and aging population has led to a trend of increasing liver transplant (LT) volume in the elderly. Nowadays, advanced age is not considered an absolute contraindication for LT but elderly LT candidates typically have an age-associated burden of comorbid conditions that can pose several clinical challenges during …
Exercise MRI to Evaluate Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Children With Heart Disease
There are many barriers to heart-healthy lifestyles in pediatric patients with acquired and congenital heart disease. Investigators want to further understand how participants heart and skeletal muscles work together during exercise and evaluate the impact on cardiac function. To do this, the investigators will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to …
Detection of Plasma DNA of Renal Origin in Kidney Transplant Patients
Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) has been proposed as a potential diagnostic tool to monitor the rejection status of the kidney transplant. It has been suggested that dd-cfDNA is increasing in the blood of kidney transplant patient presenting a graft rejection. In this project, investigators proposed a different approach to predict …
