Outcomes of Latent Tuberculosis Screening and Therapy in Transplant Recipients over a 10 Year Period
Univ of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
INTRODUCTION: Pre-transplant screening and therapy of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is recommended. However, there are limited data on the tolerability of LTBI therapy pre- and…2013 American Transplant Congress
CKD-EPI (Cr+Cystatin C) Is a Vastly More Precise Formula in Kidney Transplant Recipients, The
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis
GFR estimates incorporating cystatin C (CysC) and creatinine (Cr) have shown to perform better than Cr only in subjects with reduced GFR but have not…2013 American Transplant Congress
Tolerance Induction by αLFA1 Monotherapy Reveals Organ Specific CD8-Dependent Immune Mechanisms
Purpose: Innate and adaptive immunity requirements for tolerance induction appear to be agent and organ specific. Based on our previously published data for tolerance requirements…2013 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Creatinine Reduction Ratio on Day 2 with 6-Hour Post-Operative Creatinine Reduction in Defining Early Renal Allograft Function
The Methodist Hospital, Houston
Creatinine reduction ratio on day 2 (CRR2) has been used to describe early function in renal transplantation. The purpose of this study was to determine…2013 American Transplant Congress
Significance of Time-Zero Biopsy Findings for Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation, The
Introduction: Donor organ qualities from deceased donors affect graft survival after kidney transplantation, especially for marginal donors. The authors considered that relations between donor-related factors…2013 American Transplant Congress

Predictors of Poor Outcomes Following Liver Transplantation in Patients with Hepatopulmonary Syndrome
Purpose. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the only effective therapy for chronic liver disease patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS). Recent reports have documented improved long-term…2013 American Transplant Congress
Regulatory T Cell Induction by Soluble Components of a Traditional Chinese Herb
Background: There is an ongoing need for development of novel immune suppressants, particularly those that enhance regulatory T cells (Treg). QMAD is a soluble fraction…2013 American Transplant Congress
B Cells from Operational Tolerant Produce More IL10, Display a Defect of Late Differentiation and Harbor a Higher Susceptibility to Cell Death Apoptosis
Objectives: Patients operationally tolerant to a kidney graft display a whole blood transcriptional B-cell signature. As these patients only rarely develop an allo-immune response, we…
