Post-transplant erythrocytosis: a disappearing phenomenon?
The incidence of erythrocytosis is falling and is likely related to greater ACEi/ARB use and possibly more antiproliferative immunosuppression. Patient survival is excellent in those with erythrocytosis, but long-term graft survival may be compromised.
This experiment provides empirical evidence that changes in consumption of simple sugars influence perceived sweet taste intensity. More work is needed to determine whether sugar intake ultimately shifts preferences for sweet foods and beverages. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02090478.
