Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Journal of Medical Virology"
DOI: 10.1002/jmv.70562
Abstract: Chronic high Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) load (CHL) carriage has been closely associated with EBV infection after pediatric liver transplantation. Elevated tacrolimus (Tac) blood concentrations increased the risk of EBV‐associated diseases. Tacrolimus intra‐patient variability (Tac‐IPV) help… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lt.25016
Abstract: Portal vein (PV) reconstruction is a key component for success in pediatric liver transplantation (LT). Biliary atresia (BA) often causes the native PV to become sclerotic or hypoplastic, and the portal venous flow (PVF) may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lt.25495
Abstract: Tacrolimus is the cornerstone in pediatric liver transplant immunosuppression. Despite close monitoring, fluctuations in tacrolimus blood levels affect safety and efficacy of immunosuppressive treatments. Identifying the factors related to the variability in tacrolimus exposure may… read more here.
