In OHT recipients, pathologic evaluation of the heart during acute rejection can show involvement of both the conduction system and the myocardium. We here describe the cases of a 9-year-old male with DCM and a 13-year-old female with RCM, who developed third-degree PAVB associated with acute rejection 36 months and 24 months after OHT, respectively. We conclude that PAVB could be considered an early sign of acute rejection after OHT in children who exhibit post-transplantation presyncope or syncope.

Introduction: Differentiating acute tubular necrosis (ATN) from rejection in pediatric kidney transplant (KT) recipients remains challenging and necessitates invasive biopsy. Doppler ultrasound-derived resistive index (RI) is a noninvasive modality to assess graft status, but its diagnostic utility in children is unclear. This study evaluates RI's ability to distinguish ATN and rejection in KT.

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected global health, particularly among high-risk populations such as kidney transplant recipients, who have exhibited elevated morbidity and mortality rates. Long-term effects of COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients who survived the infection are unknown. We evaluated the long-term effects of early phase COVID-19 on patient and graft survival, as well as graft function, in kidney transplant recipients who survived the acute phase of the COVID-19 infection.

Management of diabetes mellitus in hemodialysis is highly complex due to increased glycemic variability and hypoglycemic risk. The use of technologies applied to diabetes has been shown to improve glycemic control, however data in dialysis patients are limited. To describe the efficacy and safety of the minimed 780G AHCL system in a stable hemodialysis patient and during hospitalization in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Background: Coagulation screening, consisting of prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial prothrombin time (aPTT), is routinely performed in paediatrics to identify bleeding disorders or guide peri-procedural management. We evaluated the trends in utilisation and diagnostic yield of PT and aPTT testing as part of coagulation screening in a tertiary paediatric centre.
Methods: All PT and aPTT samples received from June to September 2024 were analysed.

Objectives: Severe obesity is an established risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events and heart transplantation (HT) outcomes in adults. However, the effect of severe obesity on children after HT is not well studied. We aimed to examine the prevalence and effect of severe obesity on pediatric HT.
