Occurrence of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders among over thousand adult recipients: any role for hepatitis C infection?
Epstein-Barr virus, induction immunosuppression, rejection therapy and also hepatitis C virus infection may play a role in the multifactorial pathogenesis of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder.
In T2DM, plasma rbp4 level is associated with plasma triglycerides, independently of liver fat content. There is a strong independent negative correlation between plasma rbp4 and VLDL-apoB100 total fractional catabolic rate. These data suggest that rbp4 may be involved in the pathophysiology of hypertriglyceridemia in T2DM by reducing VLDL catabolism.
