Torque teno virus (TTV) in kidney transplant patients
If you are interested in working on an ŠVOČ topic, please contact the supervisor by email or phone.
Minimum required year of study and topic reservation:
Supervisor: prof. MUDr. Ivana Dedinská PhD., MHA; MUDr. Andrej Kollár; doc. MUDr. Matej Vnučák PhD.; RNDr. Tatiana Bohušová; Mgr. Andrej Čereš; prof. MUDr. Miloš Jeseňák, PhD. et PhD., MBA

Phone: +421434203920
Notes: TTV is a nonpathogenic virus whose replication directly reflects the degree of therapeutic immunosuppression. The main objective of the project is to validate the real-time PCR method for detecting TTV DNA in our laboratory setting and to establish reference kinetic curves for viral load after transplantation. In a pilot cohort of patients, we will correlate TTV levels with the incidence of acute graft rejection (at low viral levels), opportunistic infections, or drug toxicity (at high viral levels), and compare these findings with a control group with normal biopsy findings and no infectious complications
Same Donor, Different Recipient: A Multicentre Mate-Kidney Study of Zero-Time Biopsy Concordance and Kidney Allograft Outcomes

Minimum required year of study and topic reservation: Suitable for a student in at least their fourth year of study

Notes: The study will compare baseline kidney biopsies from a single donor and compare graft function in the recipients of these kidneys. The goal will be to identify donor, organ procurement, and logistical parameters, as well as the factors that determine differences in graft function—the so-called “mate-kidneys.” This will be a multicenter study involving other kidney transplant centers in Slovakia, from which we will obtain the relevant data on the paired kidneys of our recipients.

Supervisor: doc. MUDr. Peter Bánovčin, PhD., MBA, MUDr. Jakub Hoferica PhD.
Email: jakub.hoferica@uniba.sk
Phone: +421907244452
Notes: Frailty is an independent predictor of mortality and decompensation in patients with advanced chronic liver disease. The Liver Frailty Index is a validated standard; however, it requires time-consuming outpatient testing by a trained examiner and is subject to inter-observer variability. The use of wearable sensors offers the possibility of objectively quantifying movement parameters. The aim is to determine whether sensor-based movement analysis can serve as an objective supplement or substitute for established frailty assessment in this population.
