    Abstract Lyme disease often leaves patients with chronic symptoms of fatigue, easy confusion, and even cardiac arrhythmias. We report a case in which Lyme disease was treated with an herbal mixture due to protracted symptoms despite intravenous antibiotics. This mixture was associated with hepatotoxicity. General providers should be aware of the fact that homeopathic remedies may be associated with hepatotoxicity, and herbalists need better understanding of the safety risks of the individual components in remedy mixtures.

    Abstract The HepQuant SHUNT test quantifies hepatic functional impairment from the simultaneous clearance of cholate from the systemic and portal circulations for the purpose of monitoring treatment effects or for predicting risk for clinical outcome. Compartmental models are defined by distribution volumes and transfer rates between volumes to estimate parameters not defined by noncompartmental analyses. Previously, a noncompartmental analysis method, called the minimal model (MM), demonstrated reproducible and reliable measures of liver function (Translational Research 2021). The aim of this study was to compare the reproducibility and reliability of a new physiologically based compartmental model (CM) vs the MM. Data were analyzed from 16 control, 16 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and 16 hepatitis C virus (HCV) subjects, each with 3 replicate tests conducted on 3 separate days. The CM describes transfer of cholates between systemic, portal, and liver compartments with assumptions from measured or literature-derived values and unknown parameters estimated by nonlinear least-squares regression. The CM was compared to the MM for 6 key indices of hepatic disease in terms of intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with a lower acceptable limit of 0.7. The CM correlated well with the MM for disease severity index (DSI) with R

    Abstract Background: For primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT), a consensus regarding biliary reconstruction remains unresolved. Choledochoduodenostomy (CDD) represents an alternative to Roux-en-Y (RY) and duct-to-duct. We compared long-term post-transplant outcomes between CDD and RY.
    Methods: This was a retrospective review of patients transplanted for PSC who received CDD or RY, with minimum 12-months follow-up. The primary outcome was need for biliary intervention, with either percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Secondary outcomes included biliary stricture(s) and cholangitis admission(s).
    Results: Ninety-three patients were transplanted between August 2004 and October 2019 (34 living donor [LDLT] and 59 deceased donor [DDLT]; 40 RY, 53 CDD). Need for either ERCP or PTC was similar (45.0% RY vs. 32.1% CDD, P = .203), though RY exhibited more anastomotic strictures (AS) (35.0% RY vs. 11.3% CDD, P = .006), which was also observed in LDLT subanalyses (50.0% LDLT/RY vs. 10.0% LDLT/CDD; P = .036). Cholangitis admissions were more frequent in RY versus CDD (37.5% vs. 15.1%, P = .013).
    Conclusions: CDD does not impart greater risk of biliary complications, and RY may have an incremental effect combined with LDLT status for predisposing to AS. CDD maintains standard endoscopic access without additional risk of biliary complications, thus should be considered when anatomically feasible.

    Abstract The HepQuant SHUNT test quantifies liver function and blood flow using systemic and portal clearances of cholate. The test can identify the risk of well-compensated patients to develop complications of cirrhosis. To confirm the reliability of a single HepQuant SHUNT test we defined its within-individual reproducibility. Healthy subjects (n = 16), 16 with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and 16 with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) underwent 3 HepQuant SHUNT tests on 3 separate days within 30 days. The test involves simultaneous administration of 20 mg 13C-cholate IV and 40 mg d4-cholate PO, and subsequent collection of 3 mL blood samples at 5, 20, 45, 60, and 90 minutes. Clearances are expressed as systemic and portal hepatic filtration rate. Portal-systemic shunting (SHUNT), a disease severity index (DSI), and an estimate of DSI (STAT) are calculated from the clearances. Reproducibility was determined by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC > 0.70) and Bland-Altman analysis. Equal numbers of NASH and HCV patients had either early (F0-F2) or advanced (F3/F4) stages of fibrosis. All F3/F4 subjects were clinically compensated. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for DSI was 0.94 (0.90-0.96 95% confidence interval) indicating excellent reproducibility. The other test parameters had ICCs ranging from 0.74 (SHUNT) to 0.90 (STAT). In Bland-Altman analysis, the mean of differences between measurements of DSI was 0.13 with standard deviation 2.12. The excellent reproducibility of the HepQuant SHUNT test, particularly DSI, supports the use this minimally invasive, blood-based test as a reliable test of liver function and physiology.

    Abstract Corticosteroids have been a mainstay of immunosuppression following liver transplantation. However, evolution in the field of transplant immunology has produced steroid-free options, resulting in most transplant centers weaning steroids after transplant within days to months-an evidence-based management decision. Patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), however, receive corticosteroids prior to transplant. This raises the question of whether these patients should also be weaned from corticosteroids. In this review, we discuss the benefits of avoiding steroid use in this population of patients-an approach that not only avoids the adverse effects of corticosteroids but does so without risking graft failure from recurrent AIH or from acute cellular rejection.

    Abstract Background: The number of simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplants has significantly increased in the United States. There has also been an increase in kidney-after-liver transplants associated with 2017 policy revisions aimed to fairly allocate kidneys after livers. SLK and kidney-after-liver candidates are prioritized in allocation policy for kidney offers ahead of kidney-alone candidates.
    Methods: We compared kidney graft outcomes of kidney-alone transplant recipients with SLK and kidney-after-liver transplants using paired kidney models to mitigate differences among donor risk factors. We evaluated recipient characteristics between transplant types and calculated differential graft years using restricted mean survival estimates.
    Results: We evaluated 3053 paired donors to kidney-alone and SLK recipients and 516 paired donors to kidney-alone and kidney-after-liver recipients from August 2017 to August 2022. Kidney-alone recipients were younger, more likely on dialysis, and Black race. One-year and 3-year post-transplant kidney graft survival for kidney-alone recipients was 94% and 86% versus SLK recipients 89% and 80%, respectively, P < 0.001. One-year and 3-year kidney graft survival for kidney-alone recipients was 94% and 84% versus kidney-after-liver recipients 93% and 87%, respectively, P = 0.53. The additional kidney graft years for kidney-alone versus SLK transplants was 21 graft years/100 transplants (SEM=5.0) within 4 years post-transplantation, with no significant difference between kidney-after-liver and kidney-alone transplants.
    Conclusions: Over a 5-year period in the United States, SLK transplantation was associated with significantly lower kidney graft survival compared with paired kidney-alone transplants. Most differences in graft survival between SLK and kidney-alone transplants occurred within the first year post-transplantation. By contrast, kidney-after-liver transplants had comparable graft survival with paired kidney-alone transplants.

    Abstract More than one-third of listed potential liver recipients in the US are infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Recurrence of infection with HCV after liver transplantation is associated with accelerated graft loss and diminished patient survival. Current HCV treatments using peginterferon and ribavirin either alone or with first generation protease inhibitors (telaprevir, boceprevir) are limited by suboptimal viral response, drug-drug interaction, and side effects, some of which may be graft- or life-threatening. Rapid advances in new drug therapy for HCV promise to improve outcomes, reduce side effects and drug-drug interaction, shorten treatment duration, and simplify treatment regimens.

    Abstract Introduction: One in four liver transplants (LT) require return to the operating room(R-OR) within 48 h of surgery. We hypothesize that donor, recipient, and intraoperative factors will predict R-OR.
    Methods: LT recipients were enrolled in an observational study to measure coagulation with thrombelastography (TEG) were assessed with transplant recipient and donor variables for risk of R-OR.
    Results: 160 recipients with a median age of 55 years and a MELD-Na of 22 were analyzed. R-OR occurred in 22%. Recipient BMI (p = 0.006), donor heavy alcohol use (p = 0.017), TEG MA (p = 0.013) during the anhepatic phase of surgery, TEG MA at anhepatic and 30-min after reperfusion (p < 0.05), and red blood cell transfusions (p < 0.001) were associated with R-OR.
    Conclusion: The vexing triad of recipient obesity, heavy donor alcohol use, and low TEG MA were associated with a high rate of R-OR. Strategies to reduce this sub-optimal combination of risk factors could reduce the frequency of unplanned re-operations.
