Rethinking how we assess donor kidney viability. Ex vivo machine perfusion allows dynamic organ evaluation but traditional in vivo biomarkers fall short in this setting. #Transplantation #TXPforAll #Biomarker tinyurl.com/5bjkrvza

Severe diabetes insipidus doesn’t worsen kidney transplant outcomes but how we measure donor creatinine matters. 🩺#TXPforAll #Transplantation tinyurl.com/5ha9kpbp

This review compares global simulated allocation models (SAMs). These models have been instrumental in predicting the real-world impact of new transplant rules governing the allocation of kidneys, livers and thoracic organs in the US and beyond. #TXPforAll tinyurl.com/7ess6bxn

Not all HLA-DQ mismatches are equal 🧬Here, the authors pinpoint the amino acids that spark harmful antibodies—helping predict high-risk transplants and improve long-term outcomes. #TXPforAll #immunology #transplantation tinyurl.com/3whj5wv2

New OPTN data challenge the belief that “shorter is better.”
🔎 Key findings:
• Short TTD linked to worse post-transplant outcomes.
• Prolonged TTD showed no inferior outcomes tinyurl.com/d2ha3jzw

🫁This study by Alavi et al. shows that static cold storage (SCS) increases Von Willebrand factor (VWF) expression in lung microvascular cells — potentially raising the risk of thrombosis after transplant. #TXPforAll #LungTransplantation #OpenAccess tinyurl.com/y6a5r2cd

This paper by Leyder et al. shows that 🫁 lung transplants play by different immune rules. CD8+ T cells and even eosinophils may promote tolerance; not rejection! #TXPforAll #Transplantation #Immunology tinyurl.com/ax5zawcw

New hope for recurrent FSGS after kidney transplant: Targeting B cells and plasma cells with rituximab + daratumumab led to remission and improved kidney function in patients who hadn’t responded to standard therapies. #TXPforAll tinyurl.com/3nxrupcs
