A Randomised Trial Of Normothermic Machine Perfusion Versus Static Cold Storage In Donation After Circulatory Death Renal Transplantation
*Purpose: Kidneys from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors are more susceptible to cold storage injury and have a high risk of delayed graft function…2022 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Kidney Allotransplant Acceptance is Defined by a Shift from a T Cell to a B Cell Rich Immune Microenvironment Within the Graft
*Purpose: Mouse kidney allografts are spontaneously accepted in select, fully-mismatched donor-recipient strain combinations, such as DBA/2J to C57BL/6 (B6). Tolerant renal grafts develop aggregates of…2022 American Transplant Congress
Transplant Centers That Assess Frailty as Part of Clinical Practice Have Better Outcomes
*Purpose: Frailty predicts adverse post-kidney transplant (KT) outcomes, yet impacts of frailty assessments on center-level outcomes remain unclear. We tested whether transplant centers assessing frailty…2022 American Transplant Congress
Steatosis Following Liver Transplantation for Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis is Associated with a Higher Rate of Cardiovascular Complications
*Purpose: Cirrhosis secondary to Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is projected to become the leading indication for liver transplantation (LT) worldwide. Objectives: to evaluate the prevalence of…2022 American Transplant Congress
Results Of The Ctot19 Trial: Infliximab (IFX) Induction Does Not Impact 2-year Outcomes In Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) of a kidney transplant (KTx) up-regulates tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) production within the allograft. IR-induced TNF amplifies post-KTx allograft inflammation and…2022 American Transplant Congress
Superoxide in Cardiac Allografts from Donors After Circulatory Death
*Purpose: Quality of cardiac allografts from donors after circulatory death (DCD) is adversely impacted by warm ischemia and subsequent reperfusion during organ resuscitation. Post-transplant myocardial…2022 American Transplant Congress
Deceased Donor Organ Flush with Similar Volumes of HTK and UW at a Single U.S. Organ Procurement Organization: Adult and Pediatric Data
*Purpose: Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) and University of Wisconsin (UW) solutions are the two primary solid-organ preservation solutions used in the United States (>95%), but flush volumes…2022 American Transplant Congress
Functional Recellularized Patient Derived Endothelium; A Human Vascular Graft Approach
*Purpose: In transplantation, the endothelial lining is the first barrier between the donor organ and recipient immune system. Damaged endothelium exposes extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules…2022 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Cold Ischemia Times on 1 Year Kidney Transplant Outcomes
Department of Surgery, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR
*Purpose: Recent organ allocation changes have increased travel and subsequent cold ischemia times (CIT) of kidney allografts. We sought to investigate the impact of prolonged…2022 American Transplant Congress
The Role of Donor Sex in Females Undergoing Repeat Kidney Transplant: Does Prior Donor Sex Matter?
1Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada, 2Nova Scotia Health Authority, Halifax, NS, Canada
*Purpose: Female recipients of male donor kidneys are at increased risk for graft failure compared with all other donor-recipient sex pairings. The presumed mechanism relates…
