Gradual Warming Up Perfusion Post Static Cold Storage Reduces Renal Injury
We hypothesize that the sudden warm reperfusion after Cold Storage [CS] is detrimental for the graft and we therefore evaluated different warming-up procedures before reperfusion.Methods:Rat…2015 American Transplant Congress
Liver Flushing Using Colloid and Crystalloid Solutions
Abdominal Organ Transplantation, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland.
Background:Preservation solutions such as University of Wisconsin solution and histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution have been cited as causes of hypotension and adverse donor reactions following reperfusion of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Utilization of Kidneys from Deceased Donors With Acute Kidney Injury
Division of Transplant Surgery, NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical College, New York.
Due to the shortage of kidneys available for transplantation and the morbidity and mortality that occurs while patients wait for a transplant, utilization of organs…2015 American Transplant Congress
Increase in Neurologic Determination of Death (NDD) Organ Donation in the Donation After Circulatory Death (DCD) Era. The Ontario Experience
Some jurisdictions have reported a decrease in neurologic determination of death organ donors (NDD) with the implementation of donation after circulatory death (DCD) organ donation.…2015 American Transplant Congress
Histology of Renal Allografts With DGF Provides Limited Prognostic Information
DGF has been shown to be associated with adverse graft outcomes in renal transplantation. However DGF is heterogeneous histologically and the impact of various histological…2015 American Transplant Congress
Integrated Clinical-Histological (ICH) Score System for the Evaluation of “Marginal” Donors in Kidney Transplantation
INTRODUCTION: The organ shortage has led to increase the procurement of kidney from “marginal” donors and to improve the strategies to better evaluate the quality…2015 American Transplant Congress
Do Pre-Procurement Factors Affect Vascular Resistance During Pulsitile Perfusion of Deceased Donor Kidneys?
Background: Pulsatile perfusion (PP) of explanted deceased donor kidneys can improve early function after transplantation, as compared to static cold flushing and storage. High vascular…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Value of Perfusion Fluid Culture Analysis in Deceased Donor Renal Transplants. 5 Years Single Centre Experience
Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom.
Introduction: Microbiological analysis of kidney perfusion/transport solution is not routinely performed in all UK transplant centres. The aim of this study is to assess the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Transplantation of Kidneys from Donors With Acute Renal Failure: Five-Year Results from Double Center Experience
Background: Transplantation of kidneys from deceased donors with acute renal failure (ARF) has been described and represents an underutilized source of renal grafts. We reviewed…2015 American Transplant Congress
In Pre-Implantation Biopsies Expression of Micro RNAs Is Not a Good Surrogate for Established mRNA Markers of Kidney Injury
1University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada; 2University of Marlyland, Baltimore.
Kidneys from brain dead donors>50 years old are often discarded based on conventional (clinical and histologic) criteria, despite their poor predictive value for subsequent performance…
