Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA Kinetics in Stable Kidney Transplant Patients Are Related to Donor/Recipient Variables
S. Anand, L. Dong, S. Dow, M. Fife, J. Krong, D. Morris, T. Srinivas
Intermountain Medical Center, Murray, UT
*Purpose: Donor-derived cell free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is increasingly used to monitor for allograft rejection. The relationship of dd-cfDNA to donor and recipient variables in not…

Accelerated Decline in Glomerular Density: An Unrecognized Pathologic Process after Kidney Transplantation
A. Denic, B. H. Smith, W. D. Park, M. V. Luhman, M. P. Alexander, A. D. Rule, M. D. Stegall
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Rochester, MN
*Purpose: Studies in healthy adults have shown that glomerular density slowly declines with older age (-0.5% per decade), and globally sclerotic glomeruli (GSG) slowly increase…

Immunohistochemical and Molecular Detection of NK Cells in Kidney Allografts with Antibody Mediated Rejection
E. Farkash, J. Barnes, S. Anand
Pathology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
*Purpose: Molecular signatures specific to Natural Killer (NK) cells are closely associated with antibody mediated rejection (AMR) in transplant biopsies. We have developed an immunohistochemical…
