Hepatitis E Virus Infection in a Liver Transplant Recipient Presenting With Late‐Onset Acute Rejection and Treated With Ribavirin Open
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is increasingly recognized as a cause of allograft hepatitis in transplant recipients. Persistent HEV infection is often asymptomatic with nonspecific findings on liver biopsy, requiring high clinical awareness to o…

An Unusual Case of Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure Leading to Liver Transplantation: Case Report Open
We report a case of acute-on-chronic liver failure manifesting as fulminant hepatitis caused by acute infection with hepatitis C virus in a patient with chronic cirrhosis secondary to former alcohol use. As a treatable cause with readily a…

2705. Predictors of Severe COVID-19 among Solid Organ Transplant Recipients Open
Background While some studies have found worse COVID-19 outcomes among solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, others found no difference when comorbidities and other risk factors for severe disease were accounted for. It remains unclear …

2700. Reducing the Dose of Mycophenolate in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients Diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 Infection Increases the Risk of Severe COVID-19 Open
Background Most of the available COVID-19 outcome data in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients does not suggest a higher mortality rate in the SOT population. Though theoretically immunosuppressive medications might be associated with w…

Patients with type 2 diabetes and elevated fibrosis‐4 are under‐referred to hepatology and have unrecognized hepatic decompensation Open
Background and Aim The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases recommends a high index of suspicion for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and advanced fibrosis in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and an elevated fibrosis‐4 index…

<i>PNPLA3</i> gene predicts clinical recovery after sustained virological response in decompensated hepatitis C cirrhosis Open
Background Patients with decompensated hepatitis C virus (HCV) cirrhosis experience various outcomes after sustained virological response (SVR), ranging from clinical recovery to further deterioration. We hypothesised that the genetic risk…

Natively Oxidized Amino Acid Residues in the Spinach Cytochrome<i>b<sub>6</sub>f</i>Complex Open
The cytochrome b 6 f complex of oxygenic photosynthesis produces substantial levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It has been observed that the ROS production rate by b 6 f is 10-20 fold higher than that observed for the analogous resp…

SNP genotyping to monitor wild tigers for conservation Open
Tigers have experienced dramatic range contraction in the recent past and currently occupy only 7% of their historical range [1]. Genetic tools can be used effectively to monitor wild species of conservation concern such as tigers. Such ap…

The presence of donor liver granuloma requiring further workup to rule out parasitic disease Open
A shortage of donor organs is a major limitation to liver transplantation. Expansion of donor pool criteria to include patients with schistosomiasis diagnosed on liver biopsy might allow the allocation of more transplant livers. Schistosom…
