Why does portal vein thrombosis matter in hospitalized patients with cirrhosis? In the global CLEARED cohort investigating 7,721 patients across 37 countries, PVT affected 1 in 10 and was linked to more AKI, severe HE, and higher 30-day mortality. doi.org/10.1097/LVT.00000000… #LiverX

Dreams can come true. >10 years of research, friendship, and team building with patients and caregivers brought us to these beautiful results. Together we (@serperm) prevented falls in patients with cirrhosis. journals.lww.com/hep/abstrac…

1/ It's #MalnutritionAwarenessWeek. Malnutrition is common in cirrhosis, and we've known it for decades. What we haven't done is build it into routine care the way we did carvedilol and pHTN. We need to routinely screen for it and proactively manage it when present.

6.9% of LT candidates were delisted after clinical improvement. But when is “better” good enough to leave the waitlist? Khan & Aby: recovery varies by etiology and timing, and MELD improvement may not equal durable recompensation. Better markers needed. doi.org/10.1097/LVT.00000000…

#Thrombophilia ≠ automatic exclusion from living liver donation. Isolated heterozygous Factor V Leiden or Prothrombin G20210A may be acceptable with standard thromboprophylaxis. Prior VTE or high-risk genotypes remain red flags. journals.lww.com/lt/fulltext… #LiverX #LiverTwitter

In high-acuity LT recipients on pre-LT RRT, basiliximab induction with delayed tacrolimus improved RRT independence (73–75% vs 42%). Everolimus-based tacrolimus minimization may further preserve renal function. doi.org/10.1097/LVT.00000000… #LiverX #Kidney #Immunosuppression

Inmune checkpoint inhibitors are formally contraindicated in liver transplant patients… aren’t they? 🧐 Check out this consensus by the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver (AISF) @AISFofficial amjtransplant.org/article/S1…

Telemundo reporter Cristina Londoño recently shared her brother Fernando’s kidney transplant journey and spoke with Dr. Giselle Guerra, medical director of the Kidney Transplant Program and Living Kidney Donor Program at Miami Transplant Institute. Dr. Guerra discussed living kidney donation, including common fears and misinformation, and how MTI is expanding options for patients and donors through paired kidney exchange and robotic transplant technology.

✨Less sugar early in life may have lasting benefits. This study found a 30% lower risk of adult #MASLD and related liver complications 🩺, with over 60% of the protective effect mediated by improved metabolic traits 🔗: ow.ly/6uu850ZAWHi

🔥 HOT TOPIC 📗 @HEP_Journal Interim results from a prospective surveillance trial found that rapid, non-contrast abbreviated MRI significantly outperformed ultrasound for detecting #hepatocellularcarcinoma #HCC in patients with cirrhosis, identifying nearly twice as many cancers while maintaining high specificity. These findings support abbreviated MRI as a promising surveillance strategy for earlier HCC detection, although additional outcome studies are needed before guideline changes.
