CMV and BK Virus Infections in Kidney Transplant Recipients Receiving an mTORi-Based Regimen versus a CNI-Based Regimen: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
The objective of this systematic review is to compare the incidence of CMV and BK virus infections in kidney transplant recipients receiving an mTORi-based as…2017 American Transplant Congress
Evolution of CCR4highCD4+ Subpopulations in Renal Graft Blood After Steroid Withdrawal: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study in Parallel Groups. Preliminary Results.
Introduction:Steroids are a mainstay of immunosuppression after kidney transplant (KT). The infiltration into the graft of active T cells following KT depends on the expression…2017 American Transplant Congress
Pro Inflammatory Transitional B (TrB) Cells Characterize Renal Allograft Recipients with DSA and T Cell Mediated Rejection (TCMR).
De novo DSA detected post-renal transplantation is associated with adverse outcomes. We have shown that de novo DSA is strongly associated with TCMR. In this…2017 American Transplant Congress
Integrated Magnetic-Electrochemical Exosome (iMEX) Technology to Detect Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Transplantation Research Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston; Exosome Diagnostic Inc, Cambridge
Methods for monitoring clinical rejection including increases in serum creatinine and urinary protein excretion may not reflect subclinical rejection. Similarly repeat biopsy may result in…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Prospective Observational Study to Evaluate Use of a Panel of Reactive T Cell (PRT) Assay as a Pre-Transplant Marker of Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background:To assess risk of T cell mediated acute rejection a recently developed assay uses a panel of reactive T cell lines (PRT) to measure recipient…2017 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Outcomes in HIV(+) Kidney Re-Tranpslant (ReTx) Recipients vs. Primary Transplant (PrimTx) Recipients.
Drexel University College of Medicine, Philadelphia
Hahnemann University Hospital has performed 113 kidney transplants, including 7 ReTx. Herein we describe characteristics and allograft outcomes of HIV(+) kidney transplant recipients based on…2017 American Transplant Congress
Practice Patterns in the Treatment and Monitoring of Acute Cell-Mediated Kidney Graft Rejection in Canada.
Aim: to gather clinicians' views and practice patterns on the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of acute T-cell mediated rejection (TCMR) in Canada.Methods: As part of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Soluble Human Leukocyte Antigen-G Levels and Prolonged Allograft Survival: A Demographic Analysis.
Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) is a tolerogenic protein shown to contribute to allograft survival. Dimerized, soluble HLA-G (sHLA-Gd) has been shown to significantly prolong allograft…2017 American Transplant Congress
Detection of Shared and Distinct Gene Expression Signatures in Tissue and Urine During Acute Rejection of Kidney Grafts.
A major goal of the Clinical Trials in Organ Transplantation (CTOT) studies is the identification of biomarkers that predict or diagnose acute graft rejection in…2017 American Transplant Congress
Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate Exposure and Subclinical Tubulo-Interstitial Inflammation in Low Immunological Risk Renal Transplants.
The aim is to evaluate the relationship between maintenance immunosuppression, subclinical inflammation (i-score plus t-score) and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IF/TA) (ci-score plus ct-score) in paired…
