Flagging of Transplant Centers Associated with Increased Waitlist Mortality among Liver Candidates
University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL
*Purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated decreased transplant rates among poor performing transplant centers meeting Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) flagging criteria. However, no…2020 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Phenotypes of Liver Transplant Injury: The INTERLIVER Study
1Alberta Transplant Applied Genomics Centre, Edmonton, AB, Canada, 2., ., AB, Canada
*Purpose: Liver parenchymal injury phenotypes are difficult to evaluate by histology but could be amenable to molecular assessment. Having developed a Molecular Microscope® Diagnostic System…2020 American Transplant Congress
Improved Medication Safety Outcomes with a Mobile Health, Pharmacist-Led Intervention: Results of the TRANSAFE Rx Randomized Controlled Trial
*Purpose: Medication (med) safety events are a predominant cause of poor health outcomes, particularly within high-risk groups such as kidney transplant (KTX) recipients. The primary…2020 American Transplant Congress
p40 Homodimers Indirectly Induce Endogenous Donor-Reactive Memory CD8 T Cell Activation within High-Risk Cardiac Allografts and CTLA-4ig Resistant Graft Rejection via IL-15 Signaling
Inflammation and Immunity, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
*Purpose: We have reported that longer duration of cold ischemic storage (CIS) prior to transplant resulted in increased proliferation of endogenous donor-reactive CD8 T cells…2020 American Transplant Congress
Tissue Resident Memory T Cells in Mouse Renal Transplantation
1Starzl Transplantation Institute, Pittsburgh, PA, 2American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon
*Purpose: The newly identified tissue resident subset of memory T cells (TRM) provides immune surveillance in the tissue and first response against infections. They are…2020 American Transplant Congress
Additive Effect of Obesity to Hypertension in Living Donors and Their Impact on Glomerular Filtration Rate Compensation with 5 Year Follow-Up
*Purpose: Current data suggest that hypertensive donors can be considered for donation; however, the additive adverse effect of obesity and the risk of failing Glomerular…2020 American Transplant Congress
Single Cell RNA Sequencing of Normal Kidney Allograft Surveillance Biopsies Show Evidence of Dynamic Glomerular Endothelial Cell Activation
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
*Purpose: Indication and surveillance biopsy studies show a high prevalence of post kidney transplant (KT) glomerular disease (ElZoghby 2009,Stegall 2017) that cannot be explained by…2020 American Transplant Congress
Improving DRG Based Reimbursement to Reflect Complexity of Kidney Transplant
*Purpose: More than 90,000 individuals await a kidney transplant (KTx) in the US, yet up to 20% of recovered kidneys are discarded. Organ Transplant Centers…2020 American Transplant Congress
Identifying an Optimal Liver Frailty Index Cutoff to Predict Waitlist Mortality in Liver Transplant Candidates
*Purpose: Frailty is associated with mortality in liver transplant (LT) waitlist candidates. We developed the Liver Frailty Index (LFI) to assess frailty in patients with…2020 American Transplant Congress
B Cell Depletion with Anti-CD20 mAb Exacerbates Anti-Donor CD4+ T Cell Responses in Highly Sensitized Transplant Model
Gastroenterological and Transplant Surgery, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan
*Purpose: Preformed donor-specific anti-human leukocyte antigen antibodies (DSAs) have been associated with detrimental effects in transplant recipients. To eliminate preformed DSAs, we desensitized DSA-positive recipients…
