Overview Introduction Kidney ( Living / deceased/ combined stem cell) Liver: whole, split, reduce size, living donor 2
Who Needs a Transplant? Transplantation is offered to patients who: are in end-stage organ failure have no other surgical or medical option available to them have a limited life expectancy without a transplant have undergone a rigorous and thorough assessment process and meet all necessary criteria
4 Type of donors Deceased (dead) donors -Brain dead donors: intact heartbeat & circulation, on ventilator less than 3% of all deaths -Donors after cardiac death: occurs in hopeless cases in the hospital where the decision to withdraw life-support is made (decision is independent of the decision to donate). Organ donation occurs immediately once the heart has stopped and the patient is declared dead Living donor -Patient chooses to donate one or part of an organ to someone on a transplant waiting list can only occur with organs when removal will NOT cause grave harm to the donor-

End Stage Renal Disease Dimension of the problem > people in US Options: Dialysis and kidney transplantation US kidney waiting list: people / 2013
Kidney Failure: Treatment Kidney Transplantation “ Best option” -Replace all functions of the kidney -Increase survival and quality of life -Decrease complications -Cost effective

Kidney donations from living donors
Living kidney donation Laparoscopic vs Open - Safe - Less pain - Fast recovery - POD 1: Home - Smaller Incisions

Trends in Transplant Medications 31
Immunosuppression use in adult kidney transplant recipients
Initial immunosuppression regimen in adult kidney transplant recipients, 2011
Acute rejections within the first year post-transplant 34 First-time, kidney-only transplant recipients, age 18 & older, with functioning graft at discharge. Source: USRDS 2010 ADR
Trends in Transplant Research 35
The co-existence of two genetically different components in one organism Chimerism induces tolerance Mixed Chimeras How can we make it safe?
Northwestern Clinical Tolerance Protocols Sequential kidney/HSC in HLA matched related Simultaneous kidney/HSC in HLA mismatched 37
HLA-Matched Protocol Current Enrollment – 20/20 First patient enrolled January 2008 HLA identical siblings Excluded if high risk of recurrent disease in the allograft (role of immunosuppression in preventing disease recurrence) 38 PI: Joshua Miller

Liver Transplantation Type of donor: Living vs deceased donor Type of graft: Partial vs whole organ
Whole Organ Orthotopic Liver Transplant Standard technique. This figure illustrates a completed liver transplant with vascular and biliary anastomoses.
Partial Grafts / Liver transplantation (LTX) -Reduce Size Ltx -Split LTx -Living Donor Ltx
Partial Liver Transplantation The split through midplane with right and left lobe grafts Reference: Humar A, et al. Amer J Transpl 2001;1: Schematic drawing of the right lobe after transplantation into the recipient. The major vascular anastomosis and drainage of the bile duct into a Roux loop of bowel is illustrated

59 Conclusion Transplantation offers a second chance at life to thousands of people. It has been proven over and over again to be very successful. However, transplantation can only occur if someone consents to the ultimate gift – organ and tissue donation. liver transplant recipient Kidney donor and recipient
