Mussarat N. Rahim, Lisa Long, Leonie Penna, Catherine Williamson, Nikos A. Kametas, Kypros H. Nicolaides, Michael A. Heneghan – 16 January 2020 – Pregnancy after liver transplantation (LT) is increasingly common and is a frequent scenario that transplant physicians, obstetricians, and midwives encounter. This review summarizes the key issues surrounding preconception, pregnancy‐related outcomes, immunosuppression, and breastfeeding in female LT recipients.
Piotr Milkiewicz, Marcin Krawczyk, Ewa Wunsch, Cyriel Ponsioen, Gideon M. Hirschfield, Stefan G. Hubscher – 16 January 2020 – Patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) frequently manifest features of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). We sought to understand factors affecting expert management, with the goal of facilitating uniformity of care. A Survey Monkey questionnaire with four hypothetical cases suggesting a potential AIH/PSC variant was sent to hepatologists spanning global practices. Eighty responses from clinicians in 23 countries were obtained.

Asencio, Jose A Lopez‐Baena, Przemyslaw Maruszewski, Rafael Bañares, Jose M. Perez‐Peña – 16 January 2020 – Intraoperative factors implicated in postoperative mortality after liver transplantation (LT) are poorly understood. Because LT is a particularly demanding procedure, we hypothesized that intraoperative myocardial injury may be frequent and independently associated with early postoperative outcomes.

Timucin Taner, Nitin Abrol, Walter D. Park, Michael J. Hansen, Michael P. Gustafson, Lilach O. Lerman, Andre J. Wijnen, Allan B. Dietz, Gregory J. Gores, Mark D. Stegall – 16 January 2020 – The liver is an immunologically active organ with a tolerogenic microenvironment at a quiescent state. The immunoregulatory properties of the liver appear to be retained after transplantation because liver allografts can reduce alloresponses against other organs that are simultaneously transplanted. Mechanisms of this phenomenon remain unknown.

Dols, the LiverHope Consortium Investigators – 16 January 2020 – Cirrhosis is a complex disease that is associated with disturbances in different organs besides the liver, including kidneys, heart, arterial circulation, lungs, gut, and brain.

No studies have evaluated the prolonged‐release pirfenidone (PR‐PFD) properties on NASH features.
