Provocative talk by Dr. Ibrahim. How does dialysis compare to cancer? Have you told your dialysis patients that they would be better off with breast cancer or colon cancer in terms of 5 year survival? We need to have a sense of urgency in our discussions about living donation.

Last week, we welcomed Anji Wall, MD, PhD, from @BaylorTxpDFW for transplant grand rounds. Dr. Wall's lecture covered how normothermic regional perfusion can expand the use of donation after circulatory death organs. Thanks for your visit!

Did you know that liver disease is the 11th leading cause of death worldwide and that the cost was over $30 billion in the US in 2016? See our article of the week, featuring @AsraniSumeet and colleagues on the Global Burden of Liver Disease. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We agree with @anjiwall that @bswhealth_DFW has the best transplant team around! From robotics to A-NRP to uterus transplantation, they are on the cutting edge and changing the landscape of transplantation in the US.

I have amazing partners- they find out it’s my birthday and insist on going out to lunch with or without me! Fantastic food and even better company. Thanks @AmarGupta_MD @bayerjoh @emartMD and Suzie Lee! This is what it’s like to be part of the best transplant team ever!

Dr. Amar Gupta @AmarGupta_MD representing Baylor at SAGES discussing parenchymal transection for living donor hepatectomy. Living donor liver transplantation is the best option for most patients who need liver transplantation and Dr. Gupta is making the donor operation better!

The one and only @AmarGupta_MD discussing our experience with a transition from open to robotic donor hepatectomy. The pearls and pitfalls were great teaching points for anyone embarking on this journey. @ASTSChimera

Ending the year strong with the @amjtransplant dec print issue. IDEAL score for L risk assessment, led by @AsraniSumeet. The carbon footprint for liver acquisition led by @anjiwall. Props to @anjiwall for the publication hat trick- book review, editorial, and original article!
