All incidental calculi were nonobstructing and small (median 2?mm; range 1�C9?mm). Eleven recipients were transplanted with allografts containing http://www.selleckchem.com/products/LY294002.html stones. One recipient developed symptomatic nephrolithasis after transplantation. This recipient was found to have newly formed stones secondary to hyperoxaluria, suggesting a recipient-driven propensity for stone formation. The remaining ten recipients have stable graft function, postoperative ultrasound negative for nephrolithiasis, and no sequelae from stones. No donor developed symptomatic nephrolithiasis following donation. Judicious use of allografts with small stones in donors with normal metabolic studies may be acceptable, and careful follow-up in recipients of such allografts is warranted.

LabMELD-based organ allocation increases total costs of liver transplantation: a single-center experience. Clin Transplant 2011: 25: E558�CE565. ? 2011 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Abstract:? Introduction:? In 2006, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD)-based allocation was implemented in the Eurotransplant (ET) region. Sick patients, who in general require more resources, are prioritized. In this analysis, the effect of MELD on costs for liver transplantation (LTx) was assessed. Methods:? Total costs for LTx before and after implementation of MELD were identified in 256 patients from January 2005�CDecember 2007. Forty-nine patients (Re-LTx, HU listings, and 30-d mortality) were excluded from further analysis. The costs of LTx in 207 patients have been correlated with their corresponding labMELD; 84 and 123 LTx before and after implementation of MELD were compared, and patient survival was monitored. Results:? A positive correlation exists between labMELD and costs (r2?=?0.28; p?24), with an increase of ��15.672?��?2.233 between each group (p?
