Vaccination Status and Titers Before and After Pediatric Renal Transplantation: An Analysis of the CERTAIN Registry.
Purpose:Prevention of systemic viral and bacterial infections by effective vaccination in kidney allograft recipients is of vital importance, but data on the vaccination status in…2016 American Transplant Congress
Incidence of Post-Transplant Malignancy (PTM) After Pediatric Kidney Transplantation (PKTx).
PURPOSE: Post-transplant immunosuppression is associated with an increase in cancer rates. To date, the long-term incidence of PTM among PKTx recipients has not been well-characterized.METHODOLOGY:…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Donor Procurement Characteristics in Contemporary Live Donor Pediatric Renal Transplantation Outcomes: An Analysis of 282 Cases.
Previous registry analyses have reported inferior graft survival rates when using laparoscopically procured organs and those with the greatest size mismatches between donor and recipient.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Should HLA DR and DQ Eplet Mismatching Replace Traditional DR and DQ Mismatching for Deceased Donor Offers in Pediatric Renal Transplantation?
Introduction. It is now appreciated that greater HLA DR mismatching of the first pediatric kidney transplantation is associated with higher degrees of sensitization, lower rates…2016 American Transplant Congress
Alemtuzumab Is Safe and Effective Induction Therapy in Highly Sensitized (HS) Pediatric Patients Undergoing Transplantation.
Introduction: Studies show that alemtuzumab, a potent lymphocyte-depleting agent, is well-tolerated in pediatric renal transplantation. We report on the use of alemtuzumab induction in HS…2016 American Transplant Congress
Factors Predicting Risk for Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Highly Sensitized Pediatric Renal Transplants.
Introduction: Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is a concern in highly sensitized (HS) patients (pts) receiving renal transplant (tx). We have previously published that a donor specific…2016 American Transplant Congress
Renal Outcomes of Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients Following a Previous Solid Organ Transplantation.
