Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission of hepatitis B by transplantation of livers from donors positive for antibody to hepatitis B core antigen
Rolland C. Dickson,JE Everhart,John R. Lake,Y Wei,Eric C. Seaberg,RH Wiesner,RK Zetterman,Timothy L. Pruett,Michael B. Ishitani,Jay H. Hoofnagle +9 more
TL;DR: De novo posttransplantation hepatitis B infection occurs at a high rate in recipients of donors with anti-HBc, suggesting that the virus may persist in the liver despite serological resolution of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved outcome of orthotopic liver transplantation for chronic hepatitis B cirrhosis with aggressive passive immunization
R. McGory,Michael B. Ishitani,Walter Oliveira,William C. Stevenson,Christopher McCullough,Rolland C. Dickson,Stephen H. Caldwell,Timothy L. Pruett +7 more
TL;DR: Patients transplanted for chronic HBV cirrhosis show no evidence of recurrent HBV, and pharmacokinetic analysis of anti-Hbs elimination can improve immunoglobulin therapy and prevent recurrence of clinical hepatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and histologic patterns of early graft failure due to recurrent hepatitis C in four patients after liver transplantation
Rolland C. Dickson,Stephen H. Caldwell,Michael B. Ishitani,Johnson Y.N. Lau,Carolyn Driscoll,William C. Stevenson,Christopher McCullough,Timothy L. Pruett +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a pattern of progressive centrilobular ballooning degeneration, bridging fibrosis, and cholestasis occurs in some patients with hepatitis C with early graft failure, similar to fibrosingCholestatic hepatitis seen in some transplant patients with recurrent hepatitis B.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy following organ transplantation Description of two cases
Giuseppe Lanzino,Harry J. Cloft,Mitzi K. Hemstreet,Kim West,S. R. Alston,Michael B. Ishitani +5 more
TL;DR: The neuroradiological abnormalities described are consistent with the 'reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy' syndrome associated with cyclosporine toxicity, and concomitant factors (such as hypocholesterolemia or associated therapy with high dose steroids) are important in the development of these lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictive value of intraoperative biopsies and liver function tests for preservation injury in orthotopic liver transplantation
Michael J. Gaffey,James C. Boyd,S. T. Traweek,M. A. Ali,M. Rezeig,Stephen H. Caldwell,Julia C. Iezzoni,C. McCullough,William C. Stevenson,S. Khuroo,N. Nezamuddin,Michael B. Ishitani,Timothy L. Pruett +12 more
TL;DR: The 0Post biopsy is a valuable tool for the prediction of subsequent PI in the early postoperative period, and peak transaminase values and peak AST and ALT values are not useful in the assessment of PI.
