Abstract
This Guide for Living Donor Kidney Transplantation (LDKT) has been prepared with the sponsorship of the Spanish Society of Nephrology (SEN), the Spanish Transplant Society (SET), and the Spanish National Transplant Organization (ONT). It updates evidence to offer the best chronic renal failure treatment when a potential living donor is available. The core aim of this Guide is to supply clinicians who evaluate living donors and transplant recipients with the best decision-making tools, to optimise their outcomes. Moreover, the role of living donors in the current KT context should recover the level of importance it had until recently. To this end the new forms of incompatible HLA and/or ABO donation, as well as the paired donation which is possible in several hospitals with experience in LDKT, offer additional ways to treat renal patients with an incompatible donor. Good results in terms of patient and graft survival have expanded the range of circumstances under which living renal donors are accepted. Older donors are now accepted, as are others with factors that affect the decision, such as a borderline clinical history or alterations, which when evaluated may lead to an additional number of transplantations. This Guide does not forget that LDKT may lead to risk for the donor. Pre-donation evaluation has to centre on the problems which may arise over the short or long-term, and these have to be described to the potential donor so that they are able take them into account. Experience over recent years has led to progress in risk analysis, to protect donors' health. This aspect always has to be taken into account by LDKT programmes when evaluating potential donors. Finally, this Guide has been designed to aid decision-making, with recommendations and suggestions when uncertainties arise in pre-donation studies. Its overarching aim is to ensure that informed consent is based on high quality studies and information supplied to donors and recipients, offering the strongest possible guarantees.

Transplant Proc 2022; 54:2109-2111. [PMID: 36116945 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2022.07.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy (LLDN) is the most adopted technique for kidney transplantation. Several obstacles preclude brain-dead organ transplantation in the Middle East, going from social and cultural barriers to economical and structural difficulties. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report Lebanese experience with pure LLDN, and kidney transplantation. METHODS We included 120 cases of pure LLDN performed at our center. Demographic, perioperative, and immediate postoperative data were analyzed. Surgical particularities of the technique are described. RESULTS The reported laparoscopic technique allowed for minimal perioperative morbidity, with an overall complication rate of 3%. Operative time averaged 146 minutes and warm ischemia time averaged 4 minutes. Mean hospital stay was 3 ± 1 days. Postoperative hemoglobin and creatinine showed a mean absolute variation of 0.09 ± 0.06 g/dL for hemoglobin and 0.51 ± 015 μmoles/L increase for creatinine. No Clavien-Dindo III-V complications were recorded. CONCLUSIONS Strict adherence to the reproducible pure LLDN technique allowed for the performance of almost 45 cases per year with minimal morbidity and results comparable to similar series.

The Differences Between the Right and Left Side Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy Outcomes: A Comparative Analysis of Single-Center Outcomes. SISLI ETFAL HASTANESI TIP BULTENI 2021; 55:339-343. [PMID: 34712075 PMCID: PMC8526235 DOI: 10.14744/semb.2021.82085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the right and left side laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) outcomes of a single center. MATERIALS AND METHODS The outcomes of patients who underwent LDN in our clinic between 2008 and 2020 were evaluated retrospectively. Two groups were consisted according to the side of the donor kidney. The gender, age, body mass index, duration of operation, amount of bleeding, warm ischemia time, drain removal time, and duration of hospitalization and complications were compared between groups. RESULTS A total of 314 patients were included in the study. Sixty-six patients underwent right LDN and 248 underwent left LDN. There was no difference between groups in terms of age, duration of operation, amount of bleeding, warm ischemia time, and complications (p>0.05). However, drain removal time and duration of hospitalization were longer in the left LDN group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The right LDN had similar intraoperative outcomes with the left LDN. However, failure on meticulous dissection of the lymphatic structures during left LDN might cause chylous drainage and prolonged hospitalization time.

Abstract
Obesity is increasing worldwide, and this has major implications in the setting of kidney transplantation. Patients with obesity may have limited access to transplantation and increased posttransplant morbidity and mortality. Most transplant centers incorporate interventions aiming to target obesity in kidney transplant candidates, including dietary education and lifestyle modifications. For those failing nutritional restriction and medical therapy, the use of bariatric surgery may increase the transplant candidacy of patients with obesity and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and may potentially improve the immediate and late outcomes. Bariatric surgery in ESRD patients is associated with weight loss ranging from 29.8% to 72.8% excess weight loss, with reported mortality and morbidity rates of 2% and 7%, respectively. The most commonly performed bariatric surgical procedures in patients with ESRD and in transplant patients are laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. However, the correct timing of bariatric surgery and the ideal type of surgery have yet to be determined, although pretransplant LSG seems to be associated with an acceptable risk-benefit profile. We review the impact of obesity on kidney transplant candidates and recipients and in potential living kidney donors, exploring the potential impact of bariatric surgery in addressing obesity in these populations, thereby potentially improving posttransplant outcomes.

Duncan LG, Mendoza S, Hansen H. Buprenorphine Maintenance for Opioid Dependence in Public Sector Healthcare: Benefits and Barriers. JOURNAL OF ADDICTION MEDICINE AND THERAPEUTIC SCIENCE 2015; 1:31-36. [PMID: 27088135 PMCID: PMC4830502 DOI: 10.17352/2455-3484.000008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Since its U.S. FDA approval in 2002, buprenorphine has been available for maintenance treatment of opiate dependence in primary care physicians' offices. Though buprenorphine was intended to facilitate access to treatment, disparities in utilization have emerged; while buprenorphine treatment is widely used in private care setting, public healthcare integration of buprenorphine lags behind. RESULTS Through a review of the literature, we found that U.S. disparities are partly due to a shortage of certified prescribers, concern of patient diversion, as well as economic and institutional barriers. Disparity of buprenorphine treatment dissemination is concerning since buprenorphine treatment has specific characteristics that are especially suited for low-income patient population in public sector healthcare such as flexible dosing schedules, ease of concurrently treating co-morbidities such as HIV and hepatitis C, positive patient attitudes towards treatment, and the potential of reducing addiction treatment stigma. CONCLUSION As the gap between buprenorphine treatment in public sector settings and private sector settings persists in the U.S., current research suggests ways to facilitate its dissemination.
