Cardoso, FS; Bagulho, L; Coelho, JS; Lamelas, J; Mateus, E; Mendes, M; Glória, H; Ribeiro, V; Mega, R; Pena, A; Pinto Marques, H; Germano, N; Nolasco, FBackground and Aims: The donor risk index (DRI) quantifies donor-related characteristics potentially associated with increased risk of early graft failure. We aimed to assess the impact of the DRI, recipient and perioperative factors on post liver transplant (LT) outcomes. Methods: This was a singlecenter retrospective cohort study including all adult (≥18 years) patients who underwent LT from 01/2019 to 12/201...

Chálim Rebelo, C; Félix, C; Sousa Cardoso, F; Bagulho, L; Sousa, M; Mendes, M; Glória, H; Mateus, É; Mega, I; Jara, M; Pinto Marques, H; Nolasco, FBackground: Listing patients with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) for liver transplant (LT) remains challenging especially due to the risk of alcohol resumption post-LT. We aimed to evaluate post-LT alcohol consumption at a Portuguese transplant center. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including LT recipients from 2019 at Curry Cabral Hospital, Lisbon, Portugal. A pretested survey and a vali...

Póvoas, D; Machado, J; Perdigoto, R; Morbey, A; Veloso, J; Glória, H; Mateus, E; Martins, A; Maltez, F; Barroso, EIntroduction: Tuberculosis incidence in Portugal ranged from 20 to 22 cases per 100 000 inhabitants between 2010 and 2014. Tuberculosis incidence in liver transplant recipients is not precisely known, but it is estimated to be higher than among the general population. Tuberculosis in liver transplant recipients is particularly challenging because of the atypical clinical presentation and side effects of the ant...

Herein, we have reported our experience with ABOi LT including long-term survival and major complications in these situations. PATIENT AND METHODS: ABOi LT was performed in cases of severe hepatic failure with imminent death. The standard immunosuppression consisted of basiliximab, co...
Fulminant Hepatitis E in a Pregnant Woman
Velosa, M; Figueiredo, A; Glória, H; Mateus, E; Neves, Z; Araújo, A; Carvalho, A; Oliveira, J; Barroso, EHepatitis E is an inflammatory liver disease caused by hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection, which is endemic in China, India, Nepal, and in several Asian and African countries, where the prevalence can be as high as 50%. In non-endemic countries, an increasing number of non-travel associated HEV has been reported in recent years, particularly in Europe. The authors describe the clinical case of a puerperal 24-yea...

Glória, H; Ramalho, F; Marinho, R; Pedro, M; Velosa, J; Moura, M CA retrospective analysis of 135 drug addicts followed between 1986 to 1987, was done, in order to asses the seroprevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis Delta virus (HDV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), as also their clinical and prognostic significance. A high prevalence of HBV, HDV and HCV infection was observed in this study: 81%, 64% and 83% respectively; in contrast...
