Inflammation in Regions of Tubular Atrophy (IATR) Predicts Adverse Graft Outcome in Patients With Late Graft Dysfunction: A Multicenter Study
Purpose: Inflammation in regions of tubular atrophy (IATR) is a risk factor for late graft loss. However, IATR is associated with inflammation in non-atrophic regions…2015 American Transplant Congress
Six-Month Urinary CCL2 Levels Predict Long-Term Renal Allograft Outcome
Graft loss is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. We have shown that 6-month urine CCL2 is an independent predictor for death-censored graft loss.…2015 American Transplant Congress
MDRD4 Equation Is Better Than CKD-EPI, Cockroft-Gault and Nankivell Equations to Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate in Renal Transplantation
To evaluate which estimated GFR (eGFR) equation is the most appropriate to in kidney transplanted (KTx) recipients, we obtained data from all plasma EDTA-Cr51 clearances…2015 American Transplant Congress
MYH9 Polymorphic Variants and Chronic Lesions in Transplanted Kidney Biopsy
MYH9 encoding a non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA is expressed in podocytes, mesangial, tubular, capillary endothelial cells and vascular wall. Intronic variants of MYH9 associate…2015 American Transplant Congress
High Within-Patient Variability in Tacrolimus Levels Is a Predictor of Late Rejection in Young Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients
Introduction: Non-adherence is an important risk factor for late rejection (rejection > 3 months post-transplant) and is the main reason why 17-29 year old kidney…2015 American Transplant Congress
Increased Late Graft Loss in Kidney Recipients With Serum Sickness Disease Following Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Induction: Relation With an Anti-Neu5Gc Response
Anti-thymocyte globulins (ATG) are rabbit IgGs against human T cells widely used as induction treatment of kidney recipients. ATG can induce immune-complex diseases including Serum…2015 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Markers of Inflammation Between Dialysis Patients With and Without Failed Kidney Allograft
BACKGROUND: The rates of morbidity and mortality in patients with a failed kidney transplant are higher than dialysis patients who had never been transplanted. The…2015 American Transplant Congress
Post-Kidney Allograft Nephrectomy Anti-HLA Immunization Is Not Due to a Release of Anti-HLA Antibodies from the Failed Kidney
Background and aims: The reasons for the increased incidence of de novo anti-HLA donor specific antibodies (DSAs) that is observed after kidney allograft nephrectomy (NTx)…2015 American Transplant Congress
100 Protocol Renal Allograft Biopsies at 10 Years: First Look at the Tacrolimus Era
This study examined late renal allograft injury in the Tacrolimus era in 10-yr protocol biopsies (Bx).Methods One hundred 10-yr protocol allograft bx were assessed using…2015 American Transplant Congress
Proteinuria as Non-Invasive Marker for Renal Allograft Histology and Survival: A Population-Based Study
University Hospitals Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
Background:Proteinuria is routinely measured for assessment of renal allograft status, but its diagnostic value for transplant pathology and herewith-related prognostic value remain unclear.Methods:We included 1518…
