KDRI Scores Did Not Correlate with Allograft Survival ForA Cohort of HIV (+) Kidney Transplant Recipients
Drexel University College of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA
Background: The KDRI score has emerged as an important tool to assess donor characteristics that are associated with differences in graft survival. How KDRI scores…2013 American Transplant Congress
Gelatinase-A Inhibition Upregulates Gelatinase-B Activity and Exacerbates Hepatic Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury
The Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center, Los Angeles, CA
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) linked to leukocyte recruitment has a negative impact on graft outcomes. Focal matrix degradation is a key prerequisite for leukocyte transmigration…2013 American Transplant Congress
