Elevated Pre-Transplant Serum Troponin Is Associated With an Increased Risk of Mortality in Elderly Kidney Transplant Recipients
Introduction:Elderly patients with chronic kidney disease are nowadays more often considered for kidney transplantation although death rate is increased in this population compared to younger…2015 American Transplant Congress
Does the Site Or Etiology of Renal Artery Stenosis Influence the Sucess Rate of Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty?
Divison of Urology, Renal Transplantation Unit, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Purpose: The incidence of transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) ranges from 1 to 23% and is the most frequent vascular complication following renal transplantation. It…2015 American Transplant Congress
Re-Evaluate the Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis After Renal Transplantation Based On New Unenhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography By Using Spatial Labeling With Multiple Inversion Pulses
Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) after renal transplantation was underestimated because of the low sensitivity of ultrasound and the contrast induced renal damage on the…2015 American Transplant Congress
CO2 Angiography Provides a Safe Alternative to Iodinated Contrast Agents in the Diagnosis and Endovascular Treatment of Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis
Background: Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis (TRAS) is a recognized complication resulting in graft dysfunction and post-transplant hypertension. Non-nephrotoxic imaging modalities such as ultrasonography are effective…2015 American Transplant Congress
Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Measurement in Renal Transplantation
BackgroundAllograft biopsy is the definitive diagnostic methods for evaluation of renal dysfunction, but there is always the risk of complications. Efforts to develop a notable…2015 American Transplant Congress
Incidence and Risk Factors of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Renal Allograft Recipients
University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati.
Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is associated with a significant increase in mortality and morbidity in patients with native kidneys. Data regarding CIN in renal allografts…2015 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Significance of Multidetector Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography to Evaluate the Prevalence and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Asymptomatic Kidney Transplantation Recipients
Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of mortality in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. Noninvasive coronary angiography using multidetector computed tomography…2015 American Transplant Congress
Pro-Inflammatory Actions of New Non-HLA Antibodies Targeting Protease-Activated Receptor (PAR-1)
Microvascular endothelium is major target for antibodies directed against HLA and non-HLA antigens. Functional antibodies targeting G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) such as AT1R or ETAR…2015 American Transplant Congress
BK Virus-Specific Polyfunctional CD8+ T Cells Predicts Successful Control of BK Viremia After Kidney Transplantation
Introduction: BK Virus associated nephropathy (BKN) remains an important cause of graft loss after kidney transplantation. We hypothesized that analysis of the anti-BK virus immune…2015 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Significance of Estimated DSA MFI Values at 1,000 C1q MFI for Differentiation Between Harmful and Harmless DSA
INTRODUCTIONControl of chronic antibody mediated rejection (CAMR) is essential for further improvement of long-term graft survival. Early detection of de novo donor specific antibodies (DSA)…
