Q

UC and liver txp?

A

cannot txp if active ulcerative colitis.

23
Q

MC cause of liver txp?

A

HCV.

24
Q

what MELD has survival benefit after txp?

A

> 15.

25
Q

HBV treatment after liver txp?

A

HBIG and lamivudine to prevent re infection.

26
Q

MC arterial anomaly in liver txp?

A

RHA off SMA

27
Q

early vs late hepatic aa thrombosis sx?

A

early: fulminant hepatic failure.
late: biliary strictures (blood supply from aa) and MC: ABSCESSES

28
Q

acute rejection in liver txp?

A

T cells against blood vessels
path: portal triad lymphocytosis, endothelitis, bile duct injuries

29
Q

chronic rejection in liver txp?

A

disappearing bile ducts (Ab and T cells attack ducts) and get obstruction with portal fibrosis

30
Q

5 yr survival rate liver txp

A

70%.

31
Q

how long does it take for liver to regenerate?

A

6-8 weeks.

32
Q

what is donor hepatectomy in adult vs child?

A

adult: RIGHT lobectomy
child: left lateral (2 + 3)

33
Q

pancreatic txp arterial and venous supply from donor?

A

celiac aa and SMA; portal

34
Q

pancreatic enteric supply from donor?

A

D2 with ampulla and pancreas (anastomose: donor duo to recipient bowel)

35
Q

where does pancreas go to txp?

A

on iliacs.

36
Q

benefits of simult PK txp?

A

fix retinopathy
fix neuropathy
fix nerve conduction slowing
fix autonomic dysfunction (gastroparesis)
fix orthostatic hypotension

37
Q

what will not REVERSE with simult PK txp for DM?

A

microvascular disease.

38
Q

MC complication after PK txp?

A

venous thrombosis (hard to tx).

39
Q

storage of donor organs?

A

heart: 6 hr
lung: 6 hr
liver: 24 hr
kidney: 48 hr

40
Q

what bx to you get routinely after heart txp?

A

RV to assess for rejection.

41
Q

acute rejection path in heart txp?

A

perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate with grades of myocyte inflammation and necrosis

42
Q

cause of early vs late death after heart txp?

A

early: infection
late: chronic rejection = chronic allograft vasculopathy (coronary atherosclerosis)

43
Q

survival increase after heart transplant

A

transplant <1 yr prognosis… get 10 years (median)

44
Q

survival increase after lung transplant

A

transplant < 1 yr prognosis… get 5 years (median)

45
Q

cause of early vs late death after lung txp?

A

early: reperfusion injury like ARDS
late: chronic rejection = chronic bronchiolitis obliterans

46
Q

Merkel cell carcinoma

A

rare cutaneous malignancy that often arises in elderly males and in those with a history of immunosuppression
LOCALLY AGGRESSUCE
RISK OF METS

Tx: WLE 1-2 margin with SLNB
Radiate postop if 1+ cm
No chemotherapy

47
Q

dx of merkels cell carcinoma

A

Bx (IHC)
[negative]: cytokeratin 20 [negative] and TTF-1 (lung), S100 (melanoma)
[positive]: CK and LMW CK markers with paranuclear dot like pattern

48
Q

workup of merkels cell

A

must r/o regional mets before LN resection

49
Q

living donor risk index favorable factors?

A

younger than 40, death due to trauma, cold ischemic time less than 8 hours, local organ procurement, and a whole ***non-DCD organ

50
Q

warm ischemia time

A

cessation of arterial inflow to the kidney to the time of perfusion with preservation solution.

The length of warm ischemia time is particularly important in determining postoperative organ function.

51
Q

cold ischemia time

A

initiation of cold perfusion to the time of reestablishment of arterial inflow in the transplanted kidney

52
Q

how to assess donor kidney function PRECISELY?

A

Isotropic methods, such as a MAG-3 or DTPA renal scans.

measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
