Kidney for life. Highlighting the work being done at @NYUGSOM_CSTAR and NYU Langone Transplant Institute on maximizing the gift of kidney donation with the best match.

[Anji Wall @anjiwall]

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.

[Anji Wall @anjiwall]

Starting our living donor symposium at @BaylorTxpDFW @bswhealth. Lisa Emmott providing comprehensive education about kidney paired donation for every donor.

Congrats to Dr. Warren and the Baylor team on our article of the week! We believe it is essential to follow the long term psychosocial outcomes of our uterus donors.

We are so excited to announce our transplant surgery fellowship match with Dr. Amy Hargrove @starzlstruck. We look forward to welcoming her to Dallas!

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!

Congratulations to Drs. Testa and @anjiwall for their paper of the week on the abdominal transplant outcomes of TA-NRP donors in the US. Way to go team! @AsraniSumeet @MatthewRosenzw2 @Quesobear

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. https://t.co/YH0GxKKJC8

[BaylorSimmonsTransplantDFW @BaylorTxpDFW]

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!

@AST_PSECOP @ElisaJGordon @beaukellymd @anjiwall Congrats to @anjiwall @beaukellymd @ElisaJGordon and Carrie Thiessen. We love this paper so much we highlighted it as paper of the week and made a visual abstract. @AsraniSumeet @ElizabethPomfr2 @ASTSChimera @AmarGupta_MD @salehelwir @emartMD

[BaylorSimmonsTransplantDFW @BaylorTxpDFW]

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!

[BaylorSimmonsTransplantDFW @BaylorTxpDFW]

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

[BaylorSimmonsTransplantDFW @BaylorTxpDFW]

Dr. Eric Martinez @emartMD is kicking off the ASTS meeting with his presentation on donor and recipient selection for robotic kidney procedures. There is overlap in considerations. Main points: start simple and then expand your experience! @AmarGupta_MD

Thanks to Dr. Shabbir and especially @AsraniSumeet - one of the foremost masterminds in liver disease - for his outstanding guidance and mentoring. @BaylorTxpDFW

[BaylorSimmonsTransplantDFW @BaylorTxpDFW]

Our transplant surgeons @anjiwall and @AmarGupta_MD training the next generation. @bswhealth_DFW residents rocked the kidney vascular anastomosis lab!

[BaylorSimmonsTransplantDFW @BaylorTxpDFW]

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!
