Personalizing Diabetes Management in Liver Transplant Recipients: The New Era for Optimizing Risk Management

Brooks Richardson, Mohammad Qasim Khan, Sara A Brown, Kymberly D Watt, Manhal Izzy – 16 December 2021 – Post‐transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in liver transplant recipients (LTRs). With concurrent comorbidities and use of various immunosuppression medications, identifying a safe and personalized regimen for management of PTDM is needed. There are many comorbidities associated with the post‐transplant course including chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, allograft steatosis, obesity, and de novo malignancy.

Low Levels of Hepatocyte‐Specific Methylation in Cell‐Free DNA Are a Strong Negative Predictor for Acute T Cell–Mediated Rejection Requiring Treatment Following Liver Transplantation

Daniel R. A. Cox, Nicholas Low, Su Kah Goh, Eunice Lee, Angela Vago, Louise Jackett, Julie Lokan, Sabine Braat, Robert Jones, Adam Testro, Alexander Dobrovic, Vijayaragavan Muralidharan – 15 December 2021 – Graft‐derived cell‐free DNA (gdcfDNA) quantification is a promising, minimally invasive tool for detecting acute T cell–mediated rejection (ATCMR) following liver transplantation (LT). We investigated the utility of measuring hepatocyte‐specific methylation in cfDNA (HS‐cfDNA) to quantify gdcfDNA, examining its accuracy in detecting ATCMR in a prospective, cross‐sectional study.
