Purpose: Living donor kidney transplantation is a critical strategy to address the growing burden of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in Malaysia. Whilst living donation is generally safe, concerns remain regarding long-term donor outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate renal function and morbidity changes in living kidney donors 1 year post-donation, and to identify predictors of impaired kidney function.

Introduction: Liver transplantation for polycystic liver disease (PLD) poses significant intraoperative risks due to the presence of a massively enlarged liver. We report a rare case of intraoperative pneumothorax and pneumatocele formation during total hepatectomy, which was successfully managed with a non-operative approach.

Case Presentation: A female patient in her 40s with a history of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease presented with progressive liver cyst enlargement (Gigot type III, Qian classification Grade 4), which led to decreased activities of daily living and intracystic hemorrhage.

This study aimed to identify factors contributing to its onset and determine how these factors may influence graft survival.

This study aimed to investigate the clinical course of brain death donors and admitted through the emergency department before organ procurement and early outcomes of kidney transplantation. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who visited a single tertiary emergency department with the final diagnosis of brain death and donor procurement between January 2013 and January 2022. Donors were categorized into 3 groups: brain hemorrhage, hanging, and other medical causes.
