Post-Transplant Changes in Serum Creatinine and Beta-2 Microglobulin Predict Acute Tubular Necrosis in the Early Post-Transplant Period
Purpose: To evaluate the utility of early post-transplant changes in serum creatinine (SCr) and beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) in differentiating acute tubular necrosis (ATN) and other…2015 American Transplant Congress
Acute Kidney Injury in the Early Post Kidney Transplant Period: Frequency, Etiology and Significance
Acute kidney injury (AKI) post kidney transplant has not been well described using current diagnostic criteria. The frequency and etiology of AKI in the first…2015 American Transplant Congress
Proximal Tubular Dysfunction Is Common After the First Year of Kidney Transplantation
Background: After the initial period of kidney transplantation, the prevalence of proximal tubular dysfunction (PTD) and its consequences are unknown. The aim of this study…2015 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Features of Isolated Arteriolar Hyalinosis in Renal Transplant Biopsies
Background: Arteriolar hyalinosis (ah) is characterized by deposition of hyaline material in the vascular wall that may be caused by different insults including diabetes, hypertension…2015 American Transplant Congress
A Clinical Signature Surrogate of Histological Lesions to Avoid Unnecessary One Year Surveillance Biopsy After Renal Transplantation
Introduction:Surveillance biopsy remains debated after renal transplantation since the histological diagnostic do not lead to clear therapeutic recommendations. The main objective for this study was…2015 American Transplant Congress
Histologic Findings in Pre-transplant AT1Rab + ve Patients Point to an Increase in Sub-Intimal Fibrosis During Acute Rejection and in 12 mo. Protocol Renal Graft Biopsies
Previous reports have described an increase in arteritis during acute rejection (AR) in angiotensin II type 1 receptor antibody (AT1Rab) positive (ve+) kidney transplant recipients…2015 American Transplant Congress
Treatment of Subclinical Rejection Identified On Surveillance Biopsy May Prevent the Development of Chronic Alloimmune Injury
Imperial College Kidney and Transplant Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Surveillance biopsies [SBx] are not universally performed following renal transplantation. In patients in whom protocol biopsies are performed, how best to manage subclinical rejection [SCR]…2015 American Transplant Congress
Differential Intragraft Gene Expression Profiles in Patients With Sterile Leukocyturia
Objective: We aimed to investigate if sterile leukocyturia reflects increased intragraft immune activity and gene expression profiles of transplant kidney biopsies differ from patients without…2015 American Transplant Congress
Implications of Living Kidney Donor Histology, Volume and Function on Allograft Outcome
Donor factors are determinants of donor quality and therefore graft function in deceased donation (DD). We hypothesized that analogous to DD, donor factors such as…2015 American Transplant Congress
hTERT, BICD1 and Chromosome 18 Polymorphisms Affecting Telomere Length Are Associated With Kidney Transplantation Outcome
Telomere length (TL) has been analyzed in regard to cell senescence and ageing of animals and humans, including age-related diseases. There have been also attempts…
