Evaluating Delayed Graft Function After Kidney Transplantation as a Potential Surrogate Outcome.
Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, MD.
Background: Recent work demonstrates significant inter-center heterogeneity in delayed graft function (DGF) rates after kidney transplantation, calling into question the value of a metric based…2016 American Transplant Congress
Refill-Based Immunosuppression Non-Adherence Is Associated with Increased Death Censored Graft Loss.
Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada.
Introduction Medication non-adherence is a major contributor of graft loss in kidney transplant(KTX) recipients. We aim to evaluate the association of immunosuppression non-adherence to graft…2016 American Transplant Congress
Torque Teno Virus – Inverse Association with Late Silent Antibody Mediated Kidney Allograft Rejection.
Clinical Problem and hypothesis: Antibody mediated rejection (ABMR) is a cardinal cause of late graft failure after kidney transplantation (KTX). A promising predictive diagnostic tool…2016 American Transplant Congress
Endoscopic Polydimethylsiloxane Injection in Prevention of Recurrent Graft Pyelonephritis for Transplanted Kidney with Vesicoureteral Reflux.
Reccurent acute graft pyelonephritis (AGPN) with vesicoureteral reflux (GVUR) can have a deleterious impact on graft outcome. The objective of this study was to evaluate…2016 American Transplant Congress
Functional Capacity Pre-Transplantation Measured by 6 Minute Walk Test and Clinical Outcomes.
Background:The 6 minute walk is an inexpensive, low-technology test for measuring a patient's functional capacity and overall fitness. The utility of 6 minute walk test…2016 American Transplant Congress
Predicting Late Medication Non-Adherence in Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: Medication non-adherence (MNA) is a significant contributor to late graft loss in kidney transplant recipients. The aim of this study was to develop and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Metabolomic Profiling of Individuals with Failing Kidney Allograft.
Alteration of certain metabolites may play a role in the pathophysiology of renal allograft disease. To explore metabolome abnormalities in individuals with a failing kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Long Term Outcome of Kidney Transplant Recipients Treated with Everolimus: Final 5-Years Results from the Certic Observational Study.
Everolimus is associated with long-term benefits, such as preserving renal function and reducing the incidence of infections, malignancies and major cardiovascular events (MACE). The Certic…2016 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Follow-Up of Renal Transplant Recipients (RTR) Treated with IVIG for De Novo Donor Specific Antibodies (DSA).
1Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX; 2Kansas University Medical Center, Kansas City, KS.
Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) may be beneficial for pre-emptive treatment of de novo DSA in RTR without biopsy-proven acute rejection (AR). Herein, we present long-term…2016 American Transplant Congress
Late Outcome Surrogate Score (LOSS) for Kidney Allograft Failure.
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL.
Background. Early outcomes following kidney transplant have steadily improved. Longer-term outcomes, while not the focus of regulatory oversight, are of vital importance. Clinical trials are…
