Elizabeth B. Haagsma, Arie P. van den Berg, Robert J. Porte, Cornelis A. Benne, Harry Vennema, Johan H. J. Reimerink, Marion P. G. Koopmans – 26 March 2008 – Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is known to run a self‐limiting course. Sporadic cases of acute hepatitis due to infection with HEV genotype 3, present in pig populations, are increasingly recognized. Zoonotic transmission seems infrequent. The entity of unexplained chronic hepatitis after liver transplantation has been recognized. Detection of HEV in 2 liver transplant recipients triggered a review of these cases.

Dorry L. Segev, Stephen M. Sozio, Eun Ji Shin, Susanna M. Nazarian, Hari Nathan, Paul J. Thuluvath, Robert A. Montgomery, Andrew M. Cameron, Warren R. Maley – 26 March 2008 – Steroid use after liver transplantation (LT) has been associated with diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and hepatitis C (HCV) recurrence. We performed meta‐analysis and meta‐regression of 30 publications representing 19 randomized trials that compared steroid‐free with steroid‐based immunosuppression (IS). There were no differences in death, graft loss, and infection.

Keli Hansen, Simon Horslen – 26 March 2008 – The aim of this article is to provide essential information for hepatologists, who primarily care for adults, regarding liver‐based inborn errors of metabolism with particular reference to those that may be treatable with liver transplantation and to provide adequate references for more in‐depth study should one of these disease states be encountered.
