SLPI in the Perfusion Liquid: A Predictor Marker of Short and Long Term Clinical Outcomes.
A lot of efforts have been done to identify the risk factors that tend to diminish the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF). Recently, the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Factors Associated with Acute Rejections in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Time for HLA-DR Matching in Elderly Recipients?
Nephrology, Charite Universitaetsmedizin, Berlin, Germany.
Background. Within the Eurotransplant Senior Allocation Program (ESP) HLA-matching is neglected,potentially causing inferior outcomes. There is a lack of data analysing the long-term immunologic outcomes…2016 American Transplant Congress
Simultaneous En-Bloc Dual Transplantation: A New Approach.
Department of Surgery, Division of Transplantation, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA.
Purpose: Most techniques of Dual Transplantation are based on the sequential placement of each kidney. This requires more dissection, anesthesia time, and exposes the recipient…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Total Ischaemic Time, Donor Age and the Pathway of Donor Death on Graft Outcomes After Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation.
Prolonged ischaemia is a known risk factor for delayed graft function and its interaction with donor characteristics, the pathways of donor death and graft outcomes…2016 American Transplant Congress
Everolimus (EVR) versus Mycophenolate Sodium (MPS) for Recipients of Kidney Transplants from Expanded Criteria Donors (ECD) Receiving Anti-Thymocyte Globulin (r-ATG) and Tacrolimus (TAC).
Introduction: There is no standard of care immunosuppressive regimen for recipients of kidneys recovered from expanded criteria donors. Several centers use r-ATG induction due to…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Relationship Between Kidney Donor Profile Index and Six Month eGFR in Deceased Donor Recipients.
Division of Nephrology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA.
Kidney function, as measured by GFR, at 6 months post-kidney transplant is a powerful predictor of long-term post-transplant outcomes. This study sought to understand the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pediatric En Bloc Kidney Transplants Reduce DGF and Are Misrepresented by the KDPI.
Controversy exists regarding optimal use of kidneys from small pediatric donors (SPDs). The study purpose was to compare outcomes between single and dual en bloc…2016 American Transplant Congress
Fractional Excretion of NGAL Instead of 99mTcMAG3 Renography to Monitor Resolution of Delayed Graft Function.
Nephrology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, Netherlands.
Introduction: Kidneys transplanted from extended criteria donors have a higher prevalence of delayed graft function (DGF). Early identification of factors that prolong duration of DGF…2016 American Transplant Congress
Serelaxin Decreases the Severity of Cold Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury After Liver Transplantation in Mice.
The Dumont-UCLA Transplantation Center, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.
Background. Extended cold preservation contributes to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), which impairs graft function and leads to poor clinical outcomes. Serelaxin (SER), a recombinant form of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Analysis of Local versus Imported Expanded Criteria Donor (ECD) Kidneys: A Single Center Experience with 497 ECD Kidney Transplants.
With the new Kidney Allocation System, broader sharing of expanded criteria donor (ECD) kidneys may occur, which may influence discard rates and survival outcomes. To…
