Recurrence of SRNS is a major challenge in KT. Several clinical factors, including initial steroid sensitivity, have been associated with increased post-transplant SRNS recurrence risk. However, conflicting data have been reported, possibly due to the heterogeneous pathophysiology of SRNS and the lack of genetic testing of SRNS patients. Furthermor...

Donation after Circulatory death is gaining worldwide acceptance. Most protocols regard their first cases to be performed with donor and recipient in the same institution. Few records of children or distant procurement have been published. Our institution was offered a heart from a 3-day-old, 3.4-kg child, blood group A, suffering irreversible ence...

Split liver transplantation (SLT) is a strategy to address organ shortage, but is a technically more demanding procedure than whole graft liver transplantation (LT). We aimed to determine the outcomes following SLT in adult recipients as well as to highlight the impact that having a pediatric LT program has on SLT implementation. All SLTs conducted...

Non-severe aplastic anemia is more likely to develop into severe aplastic anemia, and there is no widely accepted treatment plan at present. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation might be a new therapeutic strategy. Retrospectively analyzed 32 patients with non-severe aplastic anemia who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from Sept...

The role of the urologist in paediatric kidney transplantation has evolved alongside advances in management for the various causes of end-stage kidney disease. Improvements in antenatal intervention and postnatal care have seen children with increasingly complex urological anomalies survive until transplant. Once solely responsible for the oversigh...

Primary non-function (PNF) in the early post-LT period in children leads to prolonged hospitalization, high graft loss, and significant mortality. However, there is a paucity of data available on the natural history of children relisted for LT due to PNF, including those who recover graft function and survive with their original allograft. We inter...

Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 is a rare metabolic condition associated with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. Nitisinone (2-[2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl]-1,3-cyclohexanedione, NTBC) treatment has reduced but not eliminated the risk. The delayed initiation of nitisinone treatment, and persistently abnormal α1-fetoprotein (AFP) leve...

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is associated with late complications that can impair the quality of life (QoL) of patients for years after transplant. The purpose of the present study was to determine the difference in the QoL of adults that underwent allo-HSCT in childhood and adolescence compared with not transplan...

Adolescent transplant patients are at increased risk for graft loss at a period when they also suffer from illness-related social isolation, which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Peer Mentoring Program (PMP), developed in 2018, was adapted to a virtual format in 2020 due to COVID-19. Our objective is to evaluate the acceptability...

Concern about SARS-CoV-2 infection has increased over the possible effects on immunocompromised patients. Among them, recipients of solid organ transplantation deserve special attention. Data from the adult population suggest they may be at high risk for developing severe COVID-19, but little data are available for pediatric solid organ transplanta...
