Avaliação morfológica e elemental num modelo experimental de intoxicação com me...

A saúde, corpo e alimentação estão interligados com bem-estar e a possibilidade de uma vida saudável. A evolução tanto a nível tecnológico como industrial origina a formação de poluentes que são invisíveis a olho nu, mas que podem ter consequências visíveis a curto e longo prazo. Realizou-se um modelo experimental vegetal e dois modelos experimentais com animais. O modelo experimental vegetal consistia em dois ...

ABO-Incompatible Liver Transplantation in Acute Liver Failure: A Single Portugu...

INTRODUCTION: ABO-incompatible liver transplantation (ABOi LT) is considered to be a rescue option in emergency transplantation. Herein, we have reported our experience with ABOi LT including long-term survival and major complications in these situations. PATIENT AND METHODS: ABOi LT was performed in cases of severe hepatic failure with imminent death. The standard immunosuppression consisted of basiliximab, c...

Patologia Dermatológica em Doentes Transplantados Hepáticos e Renais Referencia...

Introdução: Foram descritas várias doenças cutâneas em doentes transplantados, em relação com a terapêutica imunossupressora instituída. Pretendemos caracterizar o espectro clínico das patologias dermatológicas e comparar os diagnósticos entre os doentes transplantados hepáticos e os doentes transplantados renais. Material e Métodos: Estudo descritivo e retrospectivo através da consulta de processos clínicos de...

Recurrence After Operative Management of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

INTRODUCTION: Data on recurrence after operation for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) are limited. We sought to investigate rates and patterns of recurrence in patients after operative intervention for ICC. METHODS: We identified 301 patients who underwent operation for ICC between 1990 and 2011 from an international, multi-institutional database. Clinicopathologic data, recurrence patterns, and recurrenc...

Predicted VO2 on 6 minutes walk test for FAP liver transplanted patients

Physical function is limited post-liver transplantation and exercise training can improve exercise capacity following transplantation but previously assessment of functional capacity is necessary. The 6 minute walk test (6MWT) is routinely used for studying patient’s exercise capacity and is less expensive and time consuming than a Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPXT). There have been some studies looking at th...

Orthotopic Liver Transplantation in Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy Is Asso...

Orthotopic liver transplantation has become the treatment of choice for familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy. The aims of this study were to evaluate the renal complications post orthotopic liver transplantation in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy and their impact. We retrospectively studied 185 recipients who underwent 217 orthotopic liver transplants. Mean age 36.8±9.5 years, 59% males, 14.3% with renal dys...

Impact of RIFLE Classification in Liver Transplantation

Acute renal failure (ARF) is common after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of RIFLE classification in the development of CKD, hemodialysis requirement, and mortality. Patients were categorized as risk (R), injury (I) or failure (F) according to renal function at day 1, 7 and 21. Final renal function was classified according to K/DIGO guidelines. ...

Renal Disease and Liver Transplantation in Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy

Predictive Variables Affecting Transfusion Requirements in Orthotopic Liver Tra...

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Adult orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is associated with considerable blood product requirements. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of preoperative information to predict intraoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements among adult liver recipients. METHODS: Preoperative variables with previously demonstrated relationships to intraoperative RBC transfusio...

Impact of Renal Dysfunction on Liver Transplantation: a Retrospective Study in ...

Renal dysfunction often complicates the course of orthotopic liver transplant recipients and is associated with increased morbid -mortality. The aims of this study were to determine the incidence of chronic renal disease and its impact on patient survival. Clinical data included age, gender and weight,aetiology of hepatic failure, presence of diabetes,hypertension, hepatitis B and C infection, renal dysfunction...
