Diabetes Mellitus Status of the Donor and Prolonged Cold Ischemia Time Have a Synergistic Negative Effect on Graft Survival After Liver Transplantation.
Background: Both prolonged cold ischemia time (CIT) and a history of diabetes mellitus (DM) in the donor are associated with reduced graft survival after liver…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Donor AKI on Outcome Following High KDPI Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation.
Background: Transplanting deceased donor kidneys with AKI does not appear to have negative impact on graft survival, however the impact of AKI on high KDPI…2016 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Correlation Between Pairs of Kidneys Transplanted from the Same Donor.
Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Introduction: Concordance of allograft outcomes between kidneys transplanted from the same donor has previously been reported. However recipient characteristics become increasingly important after the immediate…2016 American Transplant Congress
Higher Pre-Transplant HDL Levels Are Associated with Decreased Acute Rejection Following Kidney Transplant.
Purpose: Dyslipidemia is a common comorbidity in patients on the transplant waitlist and post-transplant, and hyperlipidemia has been associated with more robust immune response, possibly…2016 American Transplant Congress
Waitlist versus Population-Based Metrics of Access to Liver Transplantation: Comparing UNOS Waitlist Data and Nationally-Representative Data of Patients with End-Stage Liver Disease.
Background: Strategies for allocating transplantable livers are evaluated based on how they impact waitlisted patients. This approach may not optimize outcomes for all patients with…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes Following Inguinal Hernia Repair in Patients with End Stage Liver Disease.
Transplant Surgery, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore.
Increased abdominal pressure and girth from ascites puts patients with end stage liver disease (ESLD) at high risk for inguinal hernia as well as challenges…2016 American Transplant Congress
Characterization of Resistant Cytomegalovirus in Lung Transplant Recipients in the Modern Era.
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, New York, NY.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in lung transplant recipients (LTR) and the emergence of resistant CMV (rCMV) has increased. The…2016 American Transplant Congress
EBV Sero-Positivity Does Not Reduce the Risk for EBV Viremia and/or Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD) in Patients (Pts) Receiving Belatacept (CTLA4Ig).
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Introduction: CTLA4Ig is a novel immunosuppressive (IS) which acts through costimulatory blockade of T-cells and obviates the need for calcineurin inhibitor-based IS (CNI-IS). Despite benefits…2016 American Transplant Congress
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis Pattern without Immunoglobulin and Complement Deposition in Renal Allograft Was Related to the Injury of Antibody-Mediated Rejection.
National Clinical Research Center of Kidney Diseases, Nanjing, China.
Background: Differential diagnosis of Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis (MPGN) in renal allograft was difficult because of the confused etiology. Recurrent or de novo MPGN were related to…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Bacterial Enzyme IdeS, Inhibits HLA Antibody-Mediated NK Cell Activation and Cell Cytotoxicity (ADCC) In Vitro.
Background: Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is a major obstacle for successful transplantation in HLA-sensitized patients. ADCC is one of the primary mechanisms for ABMR. IdeS cleaves…
