Delayed Graft Function (DGF) Doesn't Affect Adversely the Long-Term Survival of Renal Transplantations (RT) from Uncontrolled Donation After Cardiac Death (UDCD) as Compared with RT from Standard Criteria Donor (SCD).
INTRODUCTION: DGF is a well-known risk factor for long-term kidney survival in RT. DGF hasn't been evaluated in RT from SCD and from UDCD donors.AIM:…2016 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Outcomes of Kidney Transplantation from DBD, DCD or DBCD Donors: A Single Center Experience from China.
Background There are three categories of deceased donors in China now, donation after brain death(DBD), donation of cardiac death(DCD), and donation after brain and cardiac…2016 American Transplant Congress
Imminent Death Donation: Potential Effects on Organ Donation Numbers and Clinical Outcomes.
Attempts at donation after cardiac death (DCD) lead to organ transplantation only among 70% of eligible DCDs. Imminent death donation (IDD) is ante-mortem donation of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Improving Kidney Allocation System with Higher Resolution.
Northwestern University, Chicago, IL.
Purpose: The new kidney allocation system (KAS) was implemented to help identify compatible donors for the most highly sensitized patients. Our experience, as well as…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Transplant Anti-A Titers in Waitlisted A2 to B Kidney Transplant Candidates.
Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN.
Introduction:The KAS allocates A2 and A2B donor kidneys to blood type B candidates. Research is limited and variability exists among centers regarding the significance, relevance,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Optimizing CPRAs for Sensitized Kidney Waitlist Candidates: The Devil Is in the KAS Details.
The new kidney allocation system (KAS) has increased transplant rates for highly sensitized candidates. We hypothesized that increasing unacceptable antigens to transition candidates from 80-98%…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of New Kidney Allocation System on Transplant Rates for Highly Sensitized Patients-Center Specific Study.
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Aim: Our renal transplant program promotes transplant of highly sensitized patients (pts) through desensitization and listing only strong antibodies as unacceptable antigens (UAs). UNOS implemented…2016 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplant Outcomes in Patients with CPRA Values >98% After Implementation of the New OPTN/UNOS Kidney Allocation System (KAS): A Single Center Study Update.
Background: Sensitized patients have had prolonged waiting times and greater incidence of death while on the waiting list. On December 4, 2014, UNOS/OPTN activated a…2016 American Transplant Congress
Deceased Donor ABO-Incompatible Kidney Transplantation Has the Potential to Reduce Blood Group Disparity.
Introduction: Patients with blood group O or B wait significantly longer for a kidney transplant than other groups. Blood group incompatible transplantation is widely accepted…2016 American Transplant Congress
Donor Interstitial Fibrosis and Tubular Atrophy (IFTA) Are Not Independent Risk Factors for a Lower GFR at One Year.
BackgroundDonor age is a determinant of allograft outcome after deceased donor kidney transplant (DDTx). Our aim was to determine if chronic changes on a reperfusion…
