  • HLA One-Way Mismatch as a Definitive Risk Factor for Graft-versus-Host Disease and Mortality in Living Donor Liver Transplantation. [Journal Article]

  • CONCLUSIONS: HLAOWMM is a definitive and critical risk factor for GVHD in LDLT, associated with devastating outcomes and uniform mortality in this series. In response to the adverse outcome observed in Case 8, the policy of mandatory HLA matching was formally reinforced and reintroduced as a non-negotiable component of the evaluation protocol for all cases. The exclusion of such high-risk donor-recipient pairs should be established as the standard of care to prevent this fatal complication.
  • Apoptosis-Related Molecular Signatures in Calcineurin Inhibitor Nephrotoxicity After Kidney Transplantation. [Journal Article]

  • CONCLUSIONS: Dysregulation of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway-characterized by BAX upregulation and compensatory increases in antiapoptotic mediators NOL3 and XIAP-underlies the molecular pathology of CNIT. This consistent expression pattern provides mechanistic insight into CNI-induced nephrotoxicity and may support the development of molecular approaches for CNIT detection and monitoring, reducing reliance on invasive biopsy.
  • BK Polyomavirus-Associated Carcinoma In Situ of the Renal Allograft: Balancing Oncologic Control and Graft Preservation. [Journal Article]
    Transplant Proc. 2026 Aug 21. [Online ahead of print]Powell E, Lawlor P, Kuan MTP
  • CONCLUSIONS: BKPyV-associated urothelial CIS of the renal allograft is an exceptionally rare but clinically significant entity. Management remains challenging, requiring a careful balance between oncologic control and allograft preservation. This case demonstrates a pragmatic kidney-sparing treatment strategy using localized therapy and close surveillance, although persistent disease remains a concern. Further research is required to guide the optimal management of BKPyV-associated urothelial malignancy in transplant recipients. This case is particularly relevant to the Australian transplant population given the high burden of renal transplantation, increasing long-term graft survival, and the growing recognition of BKPyV-associated malignancy in chronically immunosuppressed patients, for whom management decisions may directly impact graft preservation and dialysis dependence.
