Obesity Is Associated with Increased Risk of ESRD Among Living Kidney Donors.
Background: Living kidney donor (LKD) demographics have changed, and transplant centers have relaxed selection criteria to include LKDs who are obese. Prior studies of LKDs…2016 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Donor Profile Index Trend Analyses.
Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.
IntroductionIn spite of improved outcomes associated with the usage of extended criteria donor (ECD) kidneys, the number of kidney transplants (KT) using this donor population…2016 American Transplant Congress
Anti-IL6R Therapy (Tocilizumab) Improves Long-Term Patient & Graft Survival in Patients with Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection and Transplant Glomerulopathy.
Comprehensive Transplantation Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Introduction:Extending the functionality of renal allografts is an essential goal of transplant medicine. HS patients (pts) are at increased risk for chronic ABMR (CABMR) due…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Pretransplant Non-Donor-Specific HLA Immunization: Mainly Class 1 Immunization Leads to Poor Immunologic Outcome and Graft Loss.
Nephrology, Charite, Berlin, Germany.
Background Anti-HLA immunization measured as Panel Reactive Antibodies (PRA) is known to have a negative impact on patient and graft survival. The influence of pre-transplant…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Optimal Time Point for Steroid Withdrawal After Kidney Transplantation Is One Year After Engraftment.
The optimal time of steroid withdrawal after kidney transplantation remains elusive, since RCTs can evaluate one predefined time point. Thus we analyzed all first kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Delayed Graft Function Varies by Demographic and Clinical Characteristics in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation.
Single-center studies have suggested potential differences in the impact of DGF by recipients' biological susceptibility, quality of allograft, and immune compatibility. The goal of this…2016 American Transplant Congress
Association of Neighborhood Poverty and Living Donor Kidney Transplant Rates by Donor Relationship to Recipient.
Medicine, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA.
Background: Living donor (LD) kidney transplant is associated with increased access to transplant and improved patient and allograft outcomes. Despite the known benefits, LD rates…2016 American Transplant Congress
Is C3d-fixing Donor Specific HLA Antibody Detection Really Necessary?
Introduction: Chronic antibody–mediated rejection is the main cause of late kidney graft loss. The identification of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) in the serum is one of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Malignancies Contribute to Presensitization with Alloreactive T-Cells in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Alloreactive T-cells have been suggested to impact allograft outcome due to a higher incidence of acute rejection in the initial period after kidney transplantation. Knowledge…2016 American Transplant Congress
Human B Cell Cytokines Predict Renal Allograft Rejection and Early Transplant Outcomes.
In renal transplantation, non-invasive biomarkers that are predictive and allow for early intervention are limited. Here we report findings from a prospective longitudinal study of…
