This activity will examine the safety and effectiveness of SPK and islet cell transplants in reversing hypoglycemia and achieving sustained insulin independence. Current advances in SPK and islet cell transplantation will be explored, along with complications, outcomes, patient management and post-transplant monitoring. The importance of coordination between health care professionals from multiple disciplines and specialties in facilitating transplantation success will be discussed.

In this activity, participants will review conventional rejection-monitoring parameters and will identify current and emerging acute-rejection biomarkers. A closer look at data — regarding such biomarkers as donor-derived cell-free DNA, gene expression profiles, mRNA transcripts, immune effector pathway molecules, cell subsets and chemokines — will provide clarity about their predictive accuracy and value in rejection monitoring, as well as their ability to improve outcomes through rapid identification of transplant-organ dysfunction.

This activity will review the current recommendations for screening and vaccination in both organ donors and organ recipients and will examine the current rationale and value of measuring COVID-19 antibody titers in light of possible low posttransplant sero-response and humoral response rates. Importantly, the current state of, and future implications for, transplantation in nonvaccinated patients will be discussed.

Despite the large increase in the number of multi-organ transplants (MOTs) performed over the past few years, challenges still exist in this arena. Among these unresolved issues are a lack of standardized MOT eligibility criteria across institutions, regions and different organ combinations. Ethical issues have also arisen regarding equity in organ allocation amidst a limited organ supply, as many MOT candidates get priority allocation for nonprimary organs versus individuals requiring that organ as a single transplant; this prioritization may impact optimal recipient and graft survival as well. In this session, learn more about multi-organ allocation and its accompanying challenges, risks, benefits, and expected outcomes, as well as the limitations of MOT for potential recipients.

This activity will help participants to better determine the role and optimal timing of liver transplant in ACLF. It will review precipitators of ACLF associated with poorer outcomes, including bacterial infections and hepatitis B virus, and will explore posttransplant outcomes and predictors. The accuracy of current scoring systems for assessing the severity of disease and predicting survival will be discussed, including the Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score and the Chronic Liver Failure Consortium Organ Failure (CLIF-C OF) score.

This activity will provide an overview of the living-donor liver transplant procedure, the advantages and disadvantages of living-donor liver transplant, and the optimal timing for offering living donations to patients with liver cancer. Dr. Hughes will discuss the innovative approach advanced by experts at UPMC in which patients with liver cancer are offered the option of a living-donor transplant. He will discuss the experience and expertise offered by the UPMC Liver Transplant Program and their collaborative approach to working with referring physicians.
