Negative Effects of Being Obese or Overweight on T Regulatory (Treg) Cell Suppressive Function in Patients Listed for Lung Transplantation (Tx)
Aim: Obese and overweight patients may be prone to adverse outcomes following lung Tx. We sought to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI)…2015 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of T Regulatory (Treg) Cell Function Pre- and Post-Lung Transplantation Shows a Major Negative Impact of Immunosuppression on Treg Function
Aim: Clinical lung Tx recipients do not have sustained long-term survival outcomes comparable to that of other recipients of solid organ allografts, despite generally comparable…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of High-Risk Lung Donors on the Survival of Lung Recipients With Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis
Matching donors and recipients is largely based on experience. With the implementation of the LAS, IPF candidates have the highest provability of being transplanted after…2015 American Transplant Congress
Broader Geographic Sharing of Adolescent Lung Donors Improves Allocation Efficiency
Allocating pediatric donor lungs to pediatric lung transplant (TXP) candidates results in better graft function. However, 87% of adolescent (ADL) donor lungs are allocated to…2015 American Transplant Congress
Results of Broader Sharing of Young Pediatric Donor Lungs and Priority Allocation System for Young Pediatric Lung Candidates
Background. Two major changes for allocation of young pediatric (ped) lung (LU) donors and young ped candidates were implemented on 9/12/10. LUs from 0-11 year…2015 American Transplant Congress
A New Diagnostic Tool for Antibody Mediated Rejection in Heart and Lung Transplantation: Intragraft Donor Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies Detection
INTRODUCTION: Antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is one of the causes of dysfunction and graft loss. The limited histological features, with a weak sensibility of c4d,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Post Transplant De Novo Donor Specific Antibodies Correlate With the Development of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome Following Pediatric Lung Transplantation
Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, TX; Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX.
HLA donor specific antibodies (DSA) have been associated with poor allograft survival following adult solid organ transplantation (Tx). However, there is little evidence implicating post-Tx…2015 American Transplant Congress
Is Pretransplant Anti-A/B Antibody Removal Prerequisite for Successful ABO Incompatible Kidney Transplantation in Children?
Purpose: We have recently demonstrated that the long-term outcome of ABO incompatible living donor kidney transplantation (ABOiKT) in children was comparable to those of ABO…2015 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of ABO Incompatible Kidney Transplantation in Children
Purpose: ABO blood group incompatible transplantation (ABOi) has become increasingly common over the last decade, in part due to a shortage of suitable deceased donor…
